3liter,
Not the Venge we’re used to, it reminds me of a 1990’s cab, ruby red like an old Heitz, not fruit forward. Good but old school

Clonakilla

Canberra District Riesling 2013

See previous Delectable notes - white florals with Pyrazines (kerosene/petrol) starting to develop. Also toast and honey starting to develop. Tim Kirk the winemaker said this could go for 15 years in the cellar. Will probably have my last bottle in 2023 when 10 years old. Had my last bottle on 18th August and it was sublime. Absolutely worth the patience to cellar it for 11 years. More fulsome with less citric acid as it aged. More mandarin and a little white peach. Not a hint of petrol/kerosene. — 3 years ago

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2003

The Canberra district's best red wine. Opulent with a heady perfume of raspberries and cassis. A smooth palate with dark plum, cherry and berry flavours. Tim Kirk is an impressive winemaker. — 5 years ago

Mahoney Ranch Vineyard Vermentino 2017

Vermentino. Citrus, lemon. Definitely has more medium body (maybe influenced by stone fruit notes) with medium acid (want more actually). Good minerality. Easy drinking. — 7 years ago

Nice, some of the indigenous Italian varietals do quite well on the West coast.

Ravensworth

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2015

Ravensworth is the private venture of Bryan Martin who is the winemaker together with Tim Kirk, at the nearby and famous Clonakilla - arguably the benchmark for Shiraz Viognier in Australia. Wonderful spicy scents together with a floral note from the Viognier. Medium weight with meaty, savoury spicy flavours on the palate. My kind of Shiraz blend and in the frame of Clonakilla with better QPR. — 4 years ago
