Morlet Family Vineyards

Coteaux Nobles Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2010

A great representation of a well made Pinot Noir from Sonoma. Linear and full, polished like a marble beam, balanced with good structure and the right balance of acidity and fruit, but the savory and shade of herbs hold court most.

Grand Malbec

Truly an amazing wine. Pear, with hints of vanilla and the scent of a cool shade tree on summer day. Very smooth to drink with amazing tannins and a subtle but sweet chewiness that goes amazing with chocolate — 10 years ago

Trombetta Family Wines

Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

More color than in the Sonoma Coast offering shows immediately, a deeper and darker shade than the Sonoma Coast bottling. The nose is a little more savory, too, with more tea notes but still offering a basket full of bright fruit. The palate shows darker, but it does not go near what we might call “bold.” It is deeper and richer, again with food-friendly acidity to die for. 8 months oak 25% new.

McLaren Vale Shiraz 2013

I've done a Spanish Cava and Jazz night before but Jazz and Shiraz was new for me. And it was absolutely perfect on a chilly Perth evening at @tartscafe with a beaut bottle like this.

Deep seductively sexy shade of red in the glass (good one @towardmusic). Rich aromas of warm sweet berries and is just plain intoxicating on the nose. It caresses the palate with alluring tannins and flavours of mulberries, chocolate and a nice black pepper & berry zing which carries on well into the night. $42 a bottle at Tarts and it's also organic & vegan. All opinions are based on my own taste buds. #wine #tcweekdaywine #shiraz #perth #jazz

Caveau de Bacchus Arbois Trousseau 2013

Full name is the Trousseau Marne Rouge Reserve du Caveau Cuvee des Geologues in case that matters.... but it's a super-pretty Trousseau. Not like those funky poulsards from the Jura, this is really about fresh, just-crushed fruit even though its gentle concentration makes it spritely and thirst-quenching. It's clean and vibrant - no funk here, though it does have just a shade if cedary oak. — 10 years ago

Third out of the three year blind vertical after the blind Burgundy night. Deep garnet red but a shade or two lighter than the 2002 and 2006. Lots of rustic, earthy and vegetal notes on the nose. Vegetal such as bell peppers. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Lots of greenery, some bark and definitely a rustic edge. Long and lingering finish, that is quite dry. Drink till 2025. — 10 years ago

Fantastic nose. Honeysuckle and rich ripe apple. Quite a bit of slate which blends well. Wonderful mildly ripe Bosch pear on the quaff. Finish falls a shade short. Punches at the right price point. — 10 years ago

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2014

The most beautiful shade of pink I have ever seen. Smells of everything summer. Juicy plums, cherries. Dry and a fine bead of tannins cap off a very enjoyable experience. Best rose I have ever had. — 11 years ago
