Pome On The Range
Craggy Range
Le Sol Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2002
A brilliant wine. 1 of the top 10 wines this year for me. A plum infused minerality...... Rain on a hot bitumen road". A powerful persistent yet balanced palate showing great ripeness but not overdone. Most tasters would not pick this as NZ - more probably Australian. This wine would compete favourably in any International Shiraz competition. 18.5+. — 10 years ago
Château Reynon
Bordeaux Contrôlée Sauvignon Blanc 2011
WS90 bold white: This takes a broad approach, offering a wide range of dark plum, steeped currant and warm black cherry compote notes inlaid with espresso, ganache and dark tobacco, with a buried briary edge on the finish. Needs short-term cellaring to unwind fully. Rock-solid. — 11 years ago
Pale straw-green. Exotic green tropical fruits and pineapple on the pure, fruit-driven nose. The palate boasts fresh, lemony zip and good density, with nuances of asparagus and gooseberry emerging with air. This strikes me as a riper, fruitier and less grassy Reynon Blanc than usual. Finishes clean and long

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1985
Stunning! Heaven on the palate. Sweet cherries, blackberries, rhubarb, sweet leather, tobacco leaf, earthy in the way you dream about. So resolved and integrated. It still shinning after 30 years. The one thing I love about 80's Bordeaux is the lower alcohol level. You simply do no need to be in the 14-15% range. — 10 years ago
Foxen
7200 Range 30 West Red Blend 2011
Pine, menthol, and vanilla on the nose. A bit medicinal. Tannins too subtle. — 11 years ago

Craggy Range
Aroha Te Muna Pinot Noir 2006
George Chen
Have a few cases as overpaid when released! 😣 but the 08 maiden vintage was still the best...they tried to take on SE but never got traction. Layers with lots of glycerine...structured and deep fruit. Hope it develops well as I can't sell it! — 9 years ago
