Dark fruits, sweet oak, still quite youthful and moderately tannic, medium-long finish, solid mountain Merlot, lovely wine made by my friends Jim and Barbara, RIP. — 6 years ago

I’ve enjoyed the 09, 13 and now the 17.
This wine is an outstanding ambassador for Clare Valley Riesling. — 7 years ago

13’ Au Bon Climat Nuits- Blanches Au Bouge (On That Road Again) Chardonnay.
Decant this for 30 minutes. Honestly I’ve really never had a Chardonnay quite like this one.

Baked apple, lemon, lime, white flowers,definite oak treatment. It all seems to work. Truly an enjoyable wine. Jim has been making outstanding wines for 35+ years. Reasonably priced and delicious. Could possibly get even better with another year in bottle.

Fresh lemon and lime, wet stones and a feint dead grass aroma. Next level acidity on this at the moment. Would be good to see her in another cutla — 9 years ago

Wow, acid is here and that's for sure. Utterly refreshing, peppery lime nose. Grapefruit, gave, bitter lime but all very balanced. I could drink a bucket. — 6 years ago

Another above-the-fold headline scoop from "Superman's Pal"! This is a dense, jammy blend with slimy smooth body. The rich dark cherry, red raspberry, and black currant flavors balance nicely. It works well as an after-dinner digestive wine. — 8 years ago

Very nice, restrained alcohol and enticing perfumed notes of red cherry, cranberry skin and fresh, damp herbs on the nose. After 2 hour passive decant, balanced tart red fruits with roundness coming from an herb-y very lightly smoky profile. This thing is just getting better as it gets air. Surprisingly great QPR given I had heard Jim picked these before the 2013 rains, which most have indicated was a mistake for lower elevations - really wish I had bought more while in Oregon! — 9 years ago

Interesting to find Assyrtiko grape grown in Clare Valley. Bright acidity paired perfectly with local rock oysters with lemon pepper granita at Bennelong in Sydney Opera house. So refreshing on a sunny day. — 6 years ago

Damn! Velvety body, baking spices, long finish with caramel notes and bright acidity to balance it — 6 years ago

The acidity is like a punch in the face - in a good way! Very dry with a bit of sunny currant. — 7 years ago

Big and spicy. Tastes it’s age, but has a lot of depth. — 8 years ago
