At the Annual Yalumba tasting at the Downs Club. A quick note - minty for a Shiraz Fairly Oaky with Oak Tannins showing through and Espresso on the nose. A good wine with great potential but for value I prefer the Paradox at about a third of the price. Have bought Octavius since inception when as Wine Committee Chairman the Downs Club hosted Yalumba CEO Robert Hill-Smith (still the boss) for the launch of the inaugural Octavius which strangely was a Cabernet to begin with (1987) and a Shiraz ever since. Still have my last 2002 in the cellar at home. — 5 years ago

Wild. Complex. Aromatic. Alive. Quaffable. This wine tasted like a paradox, a paradox I immediately want to open another bottle of. — 7 years ago

A paradox of precision and mystery. Vivid dark bramble fruit and cracked black pepper mixed with an exotic and ever-changing floral, marinated olive, and forest floor that is pleasing, both on the surface as well as intellectually. — 8 years ago

Yes yes yes. A solid wine night capped off with the paradox of Primofiore. Big and bold flavors and nose but not a heavy mouthfeel. Tension on the finish. How do they do it? — 8 years ago

What Jay McInerney calls the paradox of Sta. Rita Hill’s Chardonnay: lean and fleshy! Lemon cream, key lime, and candied ginger. Cool climate acidity masterfully balanced by gentle oak spice. — 4 years ago

Zaca Mesa was the third winery in Santa Barbara County, and the first to plant Syrah (in 1978). This presents the beautiful paradox of massive extraction in a bone dry wine. Granted, there's some resemblance to something like Coke Zero, with all the sweetness on the front end. That said, this strikes the right balance to display what Santa Ynez Syrah is all about. Sage, worcestershire sauce, baking chocolate, underripe bramble, leather, and underbrush. — 7 years ago

Wow... A paradox: six years old and it taste fresh yet with the refinement of age. Nice for the minimal investment… Wife wants more like it :) bright red fruits and a little floral sweetness. Nice structure and balance. — 5 years ago
