Atlas Peak Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

#1000 at home, finally!

This is big, broad and bold. Hundred percent cab aged in seventy-five percent new French Oak. Limited production to just over two hundred cases.

Visibly the wine is a deep ruby color with a tight rim.

The nose is intense with dark fruit, cassis, coffee, dark chocolate, but also earthy humid forest aromas.

The mouthfeel is luxurious and enveloping with the perfectly ripe dark fruit, just a touch of dried spices, vanilla, oak, and a long savory earthy finish. The wine is dry, full bodied, ultra smooth with round but persistent tannings with medium plus alcohol and medium acidity.

Absolutely love wine… Cheers all!

Napa Valley Syrah 2007

Aged very well. Rich fruit but with a shroud of macerated pepper, dense fruit but still an old world minerality. Very very good. — 4 years ago

The Estate Pinot Noir 2016

My first 2016 BP Estate. Powerful red fruits with a whole bunch stalky element. A typical BP Estate with that stewed fruit rhubarb type character Similar to many other BP Estate Pinots I’ve had on Delectable from other vintages. — 3 years ago

Barre Azure Coombsville Cabernet Franc Blend 2018

Very elegant Bordeaux blend and as time dials down the alcohol and smoothes out the oak this will be a gem. — 4 years ago

Gamay 2017

More impressive than the last tasting in August this year. Raspberry, strawberry and other red fruits and a hint of clove. A lovely fresh spicy nose. A light weight plus palate showing sour cherry, muted acid finishing with very fine tannins. Phillip Jones showing his skill with a grape other than Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Good to drink now or in the next 12 months. — 4 years ago

Premium Chardonnay 2014

Bass Phillip is arguably the best producer of Pinot Noir in Australia so you would expect he would produce an excellent Chardonnay - and he does. This had full buttercup yellow in colour. Big and generous - rich and buttery with ripe fruit and integrated oak. Some notes of pear amongst the stone fruit. Somewhat old fashioned in style. — 3 years ago

$125 in the US. Worth it?

Compared to Burgundy, I think so Ron. I paid $90 AUD. Value for money can be relative I’m sure you agree.
