Castle Rock Estate

Porongurup Pinot Noir 2018

As I mentioned in my previous Delectable note about this Cuvée - stewed red fruits. Strawberries and cherries. Made by the virtuoso winemaker of the Porongorups, Rob Diletti….. this time for himself instead of contract winemaking as he often does for his neighbours. Also Rob is an indemand Show Judge. Rob also makes a fabulous Riesling. — 12 days ago

"Les Voisins" Yorkville Highlands Syrah 2015

Virtuoso Syrah. Love the bright red berry fruits on the front end and the balance throughout. Nice silky tannins and a modest finish. A 30 minute decant made a world of difference. — 5 years ago

Wine needs a heavy decant, or a day...Tomorrow will be better, I can feel it. Very closed now.

Kongsgaard

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2018

Kongsgaard - always a privilege and pleasure. Such complexity even in its youth. Full on Burgundian textures multi layered palate with flinty entry and beautiful full bodied orchard fruits on the palate. Virtuoso stuff. — 4 years ago

Virtuoso Late Harvest Malbec

Very nice dry white wine, with floral notes and a bit fruity. It's almost a savory Saiturnes. Very nice. Would drink this one often. Well priced. Wholefoods — 6 years ago

As a rabid fanatic Cote Rotie man, of course I enjoy this, hits all the notes one would expect, it’s just not a virtuoso. — 5 years ago
