I’ve been wanting to try HV Semillon for a long time. First I’ve seen in Portland. Love it. Fresh, zip zap acidity. Maybe a little RS. Semillon waxy body and finish. A little high toned savoriness too. — 7 years ago

Not Old Patch, but a cheaper wine, albeit very good. It's a non vineyard specific Shiraz from the best / or one of the best red vintages in the HV. — 8 years ago

Tasted this in the 7 Springs Vineyard sitting around the corner from where this fruit came from. 14's not released yet but this might hv been my fav wine from the trip to Ore. Could hv been convinced I was somewhere in Burg with this one. Really impressive! !! Disappointed I couldn't bring any home. Sadface.... — 9 years ago

12 CD-R from a producer I'm not familiar with , but perhaps should be. Xlnt dark red deep cherry appearance ; delicious vibrant black and red fruits on nose , clean as a whistle; vibrant attack , up on its toes . More CD-R shld hv this vivacity. Red and dark fruit melange lead to med wt mid palate w complexing notes of mineral and dried meats. Crisp long flavoursome finish. Bloody good for appealation. — 11 years ago

Pale to mid Gold in colour. On opening an oxidative Sherry like smell which thankfully blew off. An example of an old white that needed decanting. After a few minutes a lovely lemon minerality wet sand bouquet. On the palate delicious lemony honeyed notes which had developed from the hay and lanolin of its youth. The thing about Hunter Valley Semillon is when it is young with its mouth searing acidity fermented in stainless steel it’s almost undrinkable but after 10 years it puts on weight and becomes this lovely honeyed creation. Skilled MWs in London when they were coming to grips with the style would swear there was Oak influence when there was none. Aged HV Semillon is one of the worlds great wines - an 18 year old Vat 1 is right up there. An excellent match with 12 fresh Coffin Bay (SA) Oysters on Good Friday. Only 11.2% Alcohol. — 7 years ago
