Gruyere Pinot Noir 2012

Beautiful nose, asking to be tasted. So far the palette hasn't backed up the initial promise. Leaving it to sit for a while before revisiting. — 10 years ago

Great nose. Good structure. Seems full of potential for the future. But the green stalkiness detracts a little for me while it's still young.

Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2013

Excellent example of new wave Aussie Chardonnay. Mac nails it this vintage. Racy (natural) acidity, some matchstick flintiness and a sneaky richness that keeps it from being severe. Most heard comment at the in-store (from peeps used to the Cali version): this is really Chardonnay? — 11 years ago

Throw away what you think a Cabernet Sauvignon is suppose to taste like. Close your eyes and you get mellow but lush fruit, fine French oak and even subtle mourvèdre (mataro)... Open your eyes and find that it's a cab sav. Fool your friends and have fun with this wine! — 10 years ago

Tradition Yarra Valley Riesling 2008

Undeniably Riesling on the palet, with great texture. 3m on lees, which is not obvious, yet very exciting. Not oxidated at all! — 10 years ago
