Sibling Rivalry

Leeuwin Estate

Prelude Vineyards Chardonnay 2014

A brilliant $30 Chardonnay- one of the best ever. The younger sibling of the famous Art Series. Stone fruit and grilled nuts. A delicious mouth filling Chardonnay. — 10 years ago

Le Vigne Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

This wine was even better than its sibling. It was sweeter and even more complex. Such a stand out bottle. If only everyone could drink a bottle like this, such a game changer. — 10 years ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

This is still a baby. Tar, smoke, dark rich fruit and loads of body with killer finish that lasts forever. Awesome wine. It's amazing how different this wine is to it's posh sibling next door Haut Brion. Both equally unique and fantastic. — 11 years ago

Tolpuddle Vineyard

Tasmania Chardonnay 2012

Destined to become an Aussie Classic like its Pinot Noir sibling. Intensely pure and balanced with integrated top quality oak. — 12 years ago

Dominus Estate

Napanook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

I'm impressed. Framed by oak beautifully. Black current & blackberry. Wonderful high acidity, smooth tannins, length, and depth. Remarkably Bordeaux - that's not unexpected based on the winemaker. This makes me want to explore its bigger sibling. — 10 years ago

A more nuanced and mature older sibling of Grand Marnier, methinks. — 10 years ago

Château Pavie

Arômes de Pavie St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

9.0

Black cassis and ruby dark red fruits, dark chocolate, black tea, soft spices, tobacco leaf and dusty soft tannins on finish. Definitely a young sibling of Pavie without the same elegance, polish and finish. — 11 years ago

Very clean, fresh, just enough flesh. Aligote is chardonnay's pretty but overlooked sibling, too bad you don't see it that often — 12 years ago

Not a shy wine, this shows the textural character of Riesljng's half-sibling Chardonnay, but cut through with that wonderful appley Riesljng acidity — 10 years ago

Weiler Schlipe Spätburgunder 2012

Have you discovers Baden's Pinots yet? If not, here's one you might want to start with! My only caution is to alert you to the small"CS" you see here below the vintage date - that little symbol is the only visible oxidation separating this wine from its less expensive sibling. Tart red cherries and spice notes reminiscent of Santa Cruz Mountains Pinots! — 10 years ago

Mount Langi Ghiran

Cliff Edge Shiraz 2010

One of my favourite mid priced wines in Oz. Northern Rhone in style - white pepper, roast meats with some cherry nuances. A less concentrated version to its more expensive older sibling, the Langhi. — 10 years ago

Pinot Meunier is my favourite grape variety. For the new world- I love it so much more than its Noir sibling. It says- hi! I have depth- but I don't take myself seriously. I really like stems and I smell of sweet wet leaves crunching under foot. Yes. Yes.... And yes. Happy Thanksgiving! — 13 years ago
