Hay Shed Hill Wines
Rocky Hill
Richard Dinner Buddy's Blend Chardonnay Pinot Gris
Golden yellow, bordering on almost orange color. Aromas of cooked hay, celery & crushed stone. On the palate, gorgeous, well balanced use of oak. A nice brioche toast flavor with a touch of cooked marshmallow & pineapple. Really luscious! — 11 years ago
Kistler
Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2003
Just what a mature Chardonnay should taste like. Just the right balance of fruit and Carmel. Still the color of hay with just a bit of spring green. — 11 years ago
Barnett Vineyards
Rattlesnake Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Needs a few more years, but once this hits its optimal window this should be a great bottle of wine. 2006 is know to have more tannin, but that is probably from this wine's youth. The color was the same as the 2003, a youthful dark red core with red edges. The nose was similar, but more supple with cherry, plum, and loam. The palate was full bodied, with full grain tannin. Bing cherry, cassis, and plum were the focus of the aromas and flavors. The finish was persistent, this wine was trying to shed its tannic cloak, but that will take another 2-3 years to resolve. Great wine! — 12 years ago
Jim Barry
The Lodge Hill Clare Valley Riesling 1999
Really great chance to see how a 15 year old Clare Riesling holds up. Star bright, intensely golden in the glass with plenty of life on the nose; shows lemon, lime, beeswax, hay, and subtle notes gas/petrol that develop with mature Rieslings and that I find enjoyable. Very soft mouthfeel, mellowed acidity and a great, dry finish. Wouldn't keep it much longer...drink it now! — 11 years ago
