Our final lunch in Cairns last Sunday for the boys weekend away. A wonderful lunch at the Salt House on the Cairns waterfront. No formal notes. Pepik is the 2nd label of Josef Chromy from the East coast of Tasmania. Red fruits on nose and palate with a little white pepper. A good match with the superb seafood curry. — 3 years ago
Bought as a standout at Tassie Pinot show. Has matured beautifully, fruit still at the forefront with lovely spice and earthy notes. — 4 years ago
Super light Pinot with great fruit and balance. — 5 years ago
Pretty nice pinot, on the thicker side, reminds me of zinfandel. Dried dark cherry and almonds. Cherries linger in the aftertaste. — 7 years ago
Light ruby, light bodied, smooth tannins. Nose full of strawberry with layered with notes of vanilla, caramel for after taste. Very excellent choice for AUD 50! — 5 months ago

See 2 previous notes from 2019 and 2022. Rich red and black fruits with Raspberry Strawberry Red Cherry and Black Cherry. A cool tasting Pinot (temperature). Barely medium weight but with great palate intensity. The remaining few will still be kicking in 3 plus years but as I said in the earlier notes the wow factor was there when it was young and I tried it at the Tasmanian Pinot Extravaganza in Launceston approximately 5 years ago. — 9 months ago
Good example Tassie Pinot - great with food. — 3 years ago
This has got to be the top Pinot Noir from the Southern Hemisphere. Who else is fighting for the podium?! Chacra in Patigonia has a shot. Burn Cottage from NZ I like. Ochota from Oz is worthy of a podium. But yeah, Sailor is winning gold in my book. — 4 years ago
Pall mall with kenlee mike and Rachel. Felt like drinking Tasmanian cause we’re back in Singapore! Super dry for a Sauvignon Blanc, mineraly, oak which is why i didn’t expect it to be a Sauvignon Blanc — 6 months ago
Au No.1 complexity Yukari. 2018 @7138, Dmar, 231008 — 7 months ago
Нос шерстяной с черносливом. Цвет темнорубиновый с небольшой мутнинкой. Вкус полуокруглый, немного кисловатый. Лучше всего сочетается с мясом, предварительно маринованным в бруснике или стейк с брусничным соусом. Мне не хватило серьезности вкуса и невыразительное послевкусие. — 9 months ago

Tuesday the 26th of January was Australia Day and a public holiday. What better way to celebrate than Australia’s best fizz Arras Grand Vintage from Tasmania. Quite light lemon in colour. Very citrussy and mineral on the nose. 7 years on Lees showing in the complexity of the palate which still shows tension and refreshment. See previous notes for the 2007 which was slightly better and Champion Wine of the Royal Brisbane Show. — 3 years ago
Very pale lemon in colour. Tasted after the Premier Cru Hubert Lamy and similar in many ways - the texture, the acid, the citrus the subdued oak influence, but not as much minerality or salinity. Made by Sue Bell at her Bellwether winery in Coonawarra from Chardonnay grapes from the Tamar River in Tasmania. A good wine in the leaner style - showing the quality of Tasmanian Chardonnay. Consistent notes 88 weeks later on 9th December 2020. Chablisesque. Grapefruit notes. Still bracing acidity. — 5 years ago
Nearly integrated oak although a couple more years would be good. Nice line of acidity — 7 years ago

Dark fruits and red fruits and a nice splash of oak as well, this is the winery’s drink early Pinot Noir, but this has the structure and stuffing to last at least 2-4 years, if not longer, very fine balance and texture. — 5 months ago
