Blown away by that wine. I'll take back anything snarky about Brits knowing nothing about wine.

I'm blown away by how good this is, for such a maligned vintage. I don't think it's one to cellar too long, so I'll be enjoying mine over the coming year or so. But if they're all this good, I'll be a very happy camper. — 10 years ago

Deliciously Sweet California Moscato

I love this wine. I know it's super sweet and "unsophisticated" but moscato is my comfort wine and Barefoot does it well. If they ever make a Barefoot Bubbly of this I'll buy a case right away. — 11 years ago

Stonier

Windmill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

Fair bit of bricking, nose is fairly pronounced with roast root vegetables, barnyard, plum and clove. Mid weight and showing good fruit from entry on - plum compote and red cherry - plus spice, caramel, beetroot. Nice complexity without feeling deep - more a sense of entwined flavours. Length and freshness pretty good, that oak caramel sweetness lingering with stewed rhubarb and red plum. Good drink; have got more tucked away but I'll be onto it soon - drinking well and don't think it's going to improve from here. — 11 years ago

Back to that nose: some charred meaty notes and wild strawberry - enticing range.
