A Riesling with an attitude. Petrol is substituted for lavender and and thyme with a robust mouthfeels and ripping acidity. — 6 years ago

Probably the most twiggy/stalky of Steve Flamsteed’s single vineyard cuvees. Perhaps overdid the whole bunch ferment aspect a little bit here. A good savoury intensity with fluid smooth tannins. Well made as always. From the very good 2015 vintage in the Yarra Valley. — 7 years ago

This is the Garage Wine Co. 2017 Phoenix Frement. I’ve asked Delectable to add it.

One of the more enjoyable nights we’ve had on the trip was meeting Derek Mossman - Owner/Winemaker of Garage Wine Co. and tasting through 15+ wines at his house and then going out to dinner to enjoy the best two wines. The next day we got up and picked in his Truquilemu Vineyard; which is about 35km from the coast.

Macerated lemon, a little cream, citrus blossoms, underripe pineapple, melon, light chalkiness, passion fruit, guava, white flowers, granite mineral, very good acidity and a rich polished finish.

Love that co-ferment with the Viognier helps to elevate the acid and power of the Syrah, need a lamb lollipop — 10 years ago

Kevin steps it up with his wild ferment. Absolutely delicious! Steely mineral nose with asparagus and lemongrass. The mouthfeel is precisely textured with grapefruit, yellow apple, and lemon rind. The long finish is pleasantly chalky with fine acidity. — 11 years ago

Seamless, polished and chiseled Grenache/Syrah co-ferment. No brett; neither oxidative nor reductive. Impressively moderate (14%) alcohol for 2015; persistent and fine sandstone mineral qualities. All raspberries and almost plush. #magellan #grenache #syrah #pezenas #languedoc — 7 years ago

Бурное начало: геркулес, горький шоколад, перепонки грецкого ореха, железо, подветренное мясо, лавровый лист, вяленый томат.
Вкус сначало терпкий, вяжущий, потом все мягко, спокойно, тихо и бархатисто. Черный чай, черный перец, черная рябина. — 8 years ago

A coastal pinot, this is a terrific wine. Has the nose of a central coast pinot but the palate and acidity of a Premier Cru burgundy, this was a real find! — 10 years ago

Today was a good, productive day. Some good reading, writing and a brisk run, topped off with a glass of amber wine.

The color a sap like emerald orange. A bouquet of forest mist and sea fog. Melon and raspberries.

A surprisingly welcome balance of lush, bursting fruit up front finished with a dry, tart slight astringent quality.

Mystifying color and glint, subtle, natural bouquet, well-balanced and surprising drinking experience.

Apricots. That’s what I’m missing. A punch of apricots right in the middle. — 7 years ago

100% cinsault. Really cool nose with a bit of "garragistes" charcoal, leather, and funk. Vibrant garnet/purple color. Palate bends toward the purple fruit side once again, with some vanillin and oak. Alcohol seems a bit high. Enjoyable different red though. — 8 years ago

This is the 2009 Spring Mtn Syrah co-ferment with 24% Viognier. Seems like a lot of V but it's so well-balanced. Rhone-like. Plum, savory, freshly crushed herbs, cured meat, hint of white flowers and lavender & great acidity. I'm always impressed with Spring Mtn estate wines! — 9 years ago
