Icons Of Yosemite

Penfolds

St. Henri Shiraz 2001

Arguably the wine of the day in the Aussie icons tasting. The great thing about St Henri is that Penfolds lets the gorgeous old vine fruit speak instead of clobbering it over the head with American Oak. Some herbal/liquorice aromas. On palate mellowing black fruits, medium bodied with great length - superb persistence of flavour. At its peak IMO but will probably last for many more years- just becoming more savoury. — 9 years ago

Hardys

Eileen Hardy Shiraz 2003

Deep crimson in colour with black tea edges. Hints of liquorice and spice. Full bodied more savoury mineral than fruit driven. Supple tannins and good length. One of Australia's Shiraz icons from a not so great vintage. — 10 years ago

Boordy Vineyards

Icons of Maryland Blue Crab Blush Rosé Blend

Definitely the best rose I've had so far. Fruity and sweet but just the right amount of each. Drank this with Elaine and Hope during dinner when Elaine came to see the house for the first time since I furnished it. — 11 years ago

Yosemite Cellars

Rim Fire Red Blend

Well balanced red blend. Moderate to full fruit on the front of my palate. Easy middle with dark stone fruit, a hint of spice and a long glycerin finish. — 10 years ago

Yosemite Road Vineyards

Pinot Grigio

This Oakdale produced NV PG/Columbard blend is a local gem, dirt-cheap with the fruity citric tones of a much more expensive food wine. — 10 years ago

Boordy Vineyards

Icons of Maryland Rockfish Seyval Chardonnay Vidal Blanc 2012

Perfect balance of crisp and clean. Delightful to drink. — 11 years ago

Icons of Yosemite

A nice dry red with a oak and fruity taste. — 10 years ago

Elderton

Command Single Vineyard Shiraz 2004

Inky black. Notes of coffee cherry and liquorice. One of the Barossa's Icons. Concentrated flavours but not heavy. Silky tannins with great persistence. Impressive. — 10 years ago
