Pours a pale green yellow color with lifted apricot, almond skin, wet stone, floral and lemon aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, and dry with ample fruit nicely balanced with bright lemony acidity, and
apricot, white peach, lemon, and lime flavors underscored with minerality, and a lingering lip-smacking finish.

From a vineyard planted in 1963, which has a little Sylvaner interplanted in it, which the owner Pat Wirz calls by the name indigenous to California “Franken Riesling.” The wine was fermented with native yeast in a neutral oak upright tank and aged for 6 months on lees prior to bottling
According to Morgan Twain-Peterson..."More Heiligenstein than Graacher Himmelriech, more Riquevillean than Sharzhofian...not sure what all that means, but it's wonderful! — 10 years ago

Pat and I both loved this Cabernet Sauvignin. Good complexity and layers of tobacco and spice and earthiness. — 10 years ago

Ready to drink! Dark fruits take the center stage, lots of structure makes for a great pairing with meat (or Pat LaFrieda burgers - delicious!) Good to know the 2012s are accessible now! — 7 years ago

BYOB by Joe and Pat. This was eerily similar to the Guado al Tasso. Lots of finesse and dried fruit. Smokey and in its secondary characteristic phase. — 9 years ago

Craiglee have been making wine on this site since the 1860s In a 3 Level bluestone gravity fed winery - about a half hours drive north of Tullamarine - Melbourne International Airport. Aromas of Liquorice and Spice. Medium minus palate weight - very different to Barossa or McLaren Vale Shiraz. Medium To light weight tannins. Great length despite the lack of palate weight - like a Pinot lovers Shiraz. Years ago I used to buy this cool climate Victorian Shiraz because of the white and black pepper, but no sign of that in this one - is Pat Carmody picking a little riper? Worth a visit for any visiting overseas Wine Lover so close to Tullamarine. — 7 years ago

On a roll with me down under buddies. Y'all know how I feel about Pat Sullivan. Like a juicy clementine being rubbed into yer gums. Magic. I've got to go on to a tasting sesh after this with Tutto and Gergovie; already in no fit state. Updates coming up. — 9 years ago

Had it with the winemaker: a vehement and honest French ex-pat who sources grapes from a couple of plots in the much-lauded Alto Cachapoal. Without touching the acidity or manipulating the alcohol, Machalí is elegant and poised, having precise aromas and complexity, but miles away from that über-common chocolate. — 10 years ago
