Family Reserve Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

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

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.

@Jason Oliver I'm a fan of the Matthiasson Ribolla Gialla too, they do that wine quite well.

Penny Lane Vineyard Sangiovese 2013

Last of my 13 Penny Lane,
Great wine, The Merlot & Zin were just to sweet for me. This has a pop & pour quality to it for the price without being overly sweet.

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

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. — 4 years ago

Family Reserve Oakville Merlot 1999

Pure pleasure. Rich black plums and vanilla, smokey mesquite. More than happy for everyone to keep leaving beautiful mature merlot on the shelf for me to find. Oh yeah and shout-out to @Ellen Clifford for inspiring me to pop this — 7 years ago

Woohoo! Sounds like the wait was worth it. And now I’m inspired to try more mature Merlot:)
