Fat of the Land Shiraz 2006

"From the slurp factory of Barossa," single vineyard from Ebenezer. Lifted nose: milk chocolate, wintergreen, vanilla extract, brambly dark berries. Bright on the palate with rich forest berries, finishes strong with black raspberry tart. In a great place right now! — 12 years ago

Big brooding wine with nose of dark cherry, bubble gum (yes distinctive) and melted road tar. Palate of currant, cherries, burnt cedar and bbq. Palate opens into a long salty finish . Very nicely done wine although not the typical 2012 fruit chew — 12 years ago

Vine Hill Ranch

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Decanted for 2 hours. VHR rewards you for the wait. Color is light suggesting a simple body. Body is tall and complex. I savored every drop. A treat. — 12 years ago

Silver Gum

Shiraz 2013

9.0

Ruby red color, a nose of cherries, pepper, and american oak on the finish. Medium body with a gentle peak of acidity that gives way to a prickly, slightly bitter tannic finish. Nice balance for a young Aussie! — 12 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

Great Pinot- twist top might make it the go-to for BYO. Has a little bit of a bubble gum flavor that I don't like, but overall a great wine — 12 years ago
