3.3. We donβt usually drink Riesling, but this dry Riesling from Australia was a gift from a friend, and we very much enjoyed it with cheese and crackers before dinner. β 6 months ago
Deep ruby, heavy bodied - nose opens up to strawberry, spice and bubblegum. Mouth feel: blackcurrant, black pepper, liquorice, vanilla. medium acidity, well integrated tanninsβ¦ very smooth to drink! β 8 months ago
Big, juicy, the Cabernet character is there, some minty notes along with the wood. Good length just lacks structure and finesse for a classic Cabernet. β 4 years ago
A blend of 77% Cab Sauv, 13% Merlot, 7% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah & 1% Cab Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of rich ripe berry fruits, cedar and earthy herb spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum, with cacao, tobacco and oaky notes. Nice balance, soft chewy tannins, long finish ending with creamy vanilla spice and cedar character. Nice value! β 4 years ago

Woohoo!!! Super velvet...best cab I've had in a long time for $30. Smooth throughout would highly recommend. β 11 years ago
2013. Eleven years under a screw cap and it tastes very fresh with dark berry fruit and no visible signs of age. From the other reviews, I think the oak has probably mellowed a bit and I really enjoyed it with a meaty patty melt. β 5 months ago
Blend of 50%/50% Grenache and Shiraz, deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits and herb spice. On the palate flavors of raspberry, plums and currants with herbs and spice. Fine tannins with firm edge, medium+ finish ending with fruit and nutty herb spice. Good now! β 6 months ago
Pear, lemon curd, slate, peach, Granny Smith apple and hints of petrol. Bold acidity and great minerality. β 8 months ago
The 2018 Mollydooker βThe Velvet Gloveβ Shiraz is a utterly sensational bottling that rivals any wine of its kind. Aged in all new American oak, this shows a gorgeous bouquet from blueberry pie to espresso grounds, graphite and toasty oak tones that all impress. The palate is deep and utterly seamless. A massive core of blue and dark fruits collide with white pepper, minerals, firm tannins and a light dusting of salinity. While obviously big, this has a weightless quality and wonderful verve. Wonderful to enjoy now, this outstanding Shiraz will provide drinking enjoyment for at least another fifteen years. But why wait? Drink 2021-2038- 98 β 4 years ago
Great everyday red to go with pizza or red meat. β 5 years ago
Minty. Black currant. Super smooth. Very far from a standard Shiraz glop bomb. Surprisingly fresh and lively at 13 years old. β 9 years ago
Delicious and hedonistic. Rich textures and dark fruit. Some leathery like aromas with hints of herbs β 10 years ago

Sexy beast - cab sauv bright red fruit sour cherry high acid, supple tannins, lingering finish β 5 months ago
Poured into a decanted about an hour prior to service and presented double-blind. The 2019 βLilyβs Gardenβ pours a deep garnet with a bit of purple and a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose the wine is developing with black bramble fruit, purple flowers, a touch of the animal and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The alcohol is elevated; calling it high. The finish is medium+. I called Syrah from France, from the Northern RhΓ΄ne, Croze-Hermitage from a recent warmer vintage like 2019. Dangitβ¦I got the variety right but I should have considered Australia with the elevated alcohol. This is a fairly classic Aussie Shiraz that certainly gives off a French vibe but the fruit and alcohol give it away. Drink now through 2034. β 5 months ago
This is another blend. But this time itβs Cab, Syrah and MourvΓ¨dre. β 4 years ago
Seductive nose of blueberry, cassis, cedar, dark roasted coffee bean,, nutmeg, peppery spice, touch of barnyard, and hint of tobacco. Probably the most harmonious palate Iβve had in an Aussie Shiraz. The oak and alcohol are totally integrated, with ample acidity and soft elegant tannins. Powerful and graceful.
What a surprise! β 4 years ago
