Wonderful- took 1/2 to 1 hr and opened up nicely. Even my wife liked. Which is good?

Won the Trophy for Best Shiraz at the National Wine Show 2012. Fruit from the Gundagai region and starting to put this region on the map. Peppery red fruits and starting to develop some leather notes at 7 years. A nice counterpoint to the lush Barossa styles showing the versatility of Shiraz. — 9 years ago

2009 is growing. My wife and I bought a case. She loves it and I can't argue. Blueberry muffins on the nose. As she opens up (yes oh so feminine) bright acidity and soft tannin surprised me. — 10 years ago

Makes me want to give up trying and sampling other reds from around the planet. Red as it should be . A benchmark wine of energy and grace. From skin to core, layered with French expression. Worth it's dollar value as every expensive wine should be but often isn't. We're it not for my wife with me, this would have been the real beauty in the room. — 11 years ago

You know your wife and kids love you when they buy you a bottle of Caymus for your birthday. Opened for a good hour to let it breath and wow. Dark purple in color with blackberry, soft tannins and a great smooth long finish. — 9 years ago

Huge progression from the old worlds that we just pivoted from. Lavish bouquet of opulent fruits and a touch of menthol and bacon fat. Palette is explosive. The winemaker has packed a quart into a pint pot. Palette consists of jam, nutmeg, black olives, toast, and a hint of truffles. A huge fruit-bomb that I suggest you pair with you wife, or significant other. Stay home and switch the cellphones to silent... — 10 years ago

Beautifully balanced Brunello! Barbi certainly has a special space in my heart as I visited that winery with my wife during our first joint trip to Italy! 2008 is ready but could certainly lay for 5/7 more years in my option before losing some main vintage character — 10 years ago

Bordeaux in style, but apparently my wife disagrees so not sure if I had the right wine. Didn't pick up on much fruit on this one but heck maybe i grabbed one of the Bordeauxs. — 10 years ago

The 2014 winner of the Jimmy Watson Trophy at the Melbourne RNA for Best One Year Old Dry Red. Purple Red in colour. Nose not giving as much as it will in the future. Some spice. Full bodied palate with firm tannins. Steve Pannell is winemaker of the year in Australia and deservedly so IMO. He very rarely uses French Barriques preferring stainless steel and large old oak barrels a legacy of spending vintages in Barolo. A big future for this wine is assured. — 11 years ago

Winderlea pinot noir 2013
I am doing a wine tasting on three wines tonight. The First is this wonderful pinot noir. From Dundee Hills Oregon, its pretty good. As a typical pinot presents, lots of cherry and very light. This one has a bit of pepper and licorice. Im not sure that its worth 40 dollars especially when compared to my favorite Pinot Noir which is 30 bucks...Im giving it an 8.9 I do recommend it. Please see my review on the next two reds: Mauritson Zinfandel 2013 and Charles Krug 2014 cabernet sauvignon. My wonderful wife stuck her tongue out at this one. My previous rating of this wine was 9.8... what happened? Same year too! — 9 years ago

Revana Cab 2001. Ripened black fruit on the nose. This is a elegant medium plus bodied Cabernet. A well structured valley floor wine. What you smell on the nose, is what you taste on the palate. A short decanting of 30 minutes. Let it open up in your class for 15 minutes. Supple light oak & acidity. A big fruit bomb now! My wife loves Revana! Drink up in the next 3/4 years.

2001 through 2007... I noticed variations in each btl/case. Is it just me? — 10 years ago
