Powerful aromas and flavours with grainy savoury tannins. These Wendouree Reds are built to last and I am starting to realise that they are best after 15 years. Certainly another 10 years in this one. Very Australian with Eucalypt/Menthol and earthy minerality - more savoury than fruit driven - not surprising at 17 years of age. — 8 years ago
Soft and pure fruit. Very gentle soft finish. Plenty of acid but aslo rounded fruit. — 9 years ago
Beautiful light golden in color. Light aroma of mineral and flavors of citrus, lemon and apple. Crisp and easy to drink. Would pair well with salads and grilled fish. — 10 years ago
Mike Grgich, the “King of Chardonnay” farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months and did not undergo malolactic fermentation. The color is a pale golden yellow with aromas of stone, tropical fruit and citrus. The palate shows off apple, melon and peach flavors, with some orange rind and nutty notes coming through. The finish was rich and creamy with some spicy mineral and perfumed tones lingering to a complex ending. Not your typical California Chardonnay, Grgich delivers like a few can! — 10 years ago
Refreshing balance of acid, texture and fruit. Delicious — 11 years ago
Picture perfect rendition of what dry Clare Valley Riesling should be, without any crazy surprises. Bright ripe citrus, slightly under ripe tropical fruit, and bitter white phenols. Very enjoyable. — 12 years ago
Creamy, crisp yellow apple , very slight touch of honey. Delicious! Perfect acidity. — 12 years ago
Gorgeous laser beam of lemon cream and acid. — 8 years ago
Starting the week off with the 2011 King Estate Pinot Noir from Eugene, OR. King Estate is located 20 miles southwest of Eugene, OR on the southwest edge of the Willamette Valley on 1033 acres certified organic vineyard. I tried this four years ago and it has seemed to have matured a bit sunce then in those four years. A more pleasurable wine this time around.
On the nose there is beautiful fruit of strawberry, cherry, red raspberry, cranberry, vanilla, a little barnyard, cola and a slight bit of licorice.
On the palate I am getting sour cherry, tart strawberry, red raspberry, pomegranate, vanilla, eucalyptus and a light oak note.
The wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and medium smooth tannin that leads right into a medium to long beautiful tart fruit prolonged finish. A very nice wine that is an easy drinker. The week is starting off right so have a great week and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago
Nice wine, affordable price! — 9 years ago
Good concentration of fruit, still very tight come back in a long time to enjoy this wine more — 10 years ago
A very delicate rendition of Shiraz. Very well done. Has a sweet cinnamon, leather, with a hint of maple syrup on the nose. It's thick and dense when poured. White pepper and rich black cherries on the palette. Lovely mouthfeel which finishes with no sharp edges - very strong Aussie wine. — 10 years ago

A tsunami of fruit — 11 years ago
Just a hint of kerosene on the nose, her palest of apple fruits and a touch of acidity. This has aged very well and with some good weight in the mouth, a fine example of mature Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago
Luisa and Elena both really liked this. They sipped in front of the fire at home. Elena home for the weekend and writing a paper. — 12 years ago
Off-vintage but tasty. A bit of a mouldy nose, eucaliptus, pine, herbs, blackcurrants and blueberries. Really strong presence of a pencil shaves note. Not as heavy and concentrate as it is. — 9 years ago
I needed a monster to pair with the ultimate smoky BBQ. This Cab fit the bill. — 9 years ago
Bloody good. It had to be as it cost the price of a small duchy.
I have a whole bottle of this greatness with me. Not a good idea.
Taste is sort of dry, not sweet and not bitter...all in equal mix. Taste of lots of stuff. It's been through different cask apparently. Bourbon, Madeira, Port...
Lovely aroma. Doesn't come to hit you right back. — 9 years ago
Easy drinking, smooth. — 10 years ago
Favorite of the bunch. Lots of dark fruits and especially blueberries, finished with a hint of sweet vanilla — 11 years ago
Nice wine. Probably not the 94 that it has received in the press — 11 years ago
2011 - dark berries jump out of the glass, with subtle notes of cola on closer inspection. Pepper and dark berries with a touch of cherry on the palate, lovely acidity in the back half and a lovely long finish and sultry tannin. Beautiful wine from a spectacular terroir. — 11 years ago
Really nice drop — 12 years ago
From what remember it was good 2012 — 12 years ago

Really beautiful, feminine Shiraz. Not as full body or powerful as Barossa: brighter fruit with smooth undertones of pepper. — 7 years ago
