Lemon curd, wisteria, post-rain walk in the woods, and apple pie. High quality apple pie, for sure! John Lockwood makes killer juice. — 8 years ago

Oyster brine, dark fruits, violets, wisteria, pansies, plum skins, river stone, a touch of wet paint. Sardines, but in a good way, if you can dig it. A little smoked paprika. — 9 years ago

Oh my heavens. I could wax poetic about Vietti all day. Violets and crushed purple roses jump out of the glass, followed by tart bramble fruits, high acid, and gripping tannins. Nebbiolos smell like the Deep South in summer: wisteria and hot asphalt. — 10 years ago

In the context of its value, this is a blockbuster Pinot Noir and quintessential of what Brian Loring does. I'm in agreement with Josh Raynolds take of "...red fruit preserves, incense, minerals and wisteria. Stains the palate with intense raspberry liqueur and floral pastille flavors..." That said, Allen Meadows does well in pointing out the "...lower register aromas of plum, dark berries and earth nuances." I will add that this has "pop" or "verve" or "tension" that puts all these flavors on blast. — 8 years ago

Had it April 2010.
Concentrated ruby with purple edge.
Red and violet flowers (wisteria), sour cherry, ink, leather, iodine, black olives, tobacco.
Taste: blood orange, marine, eucalyptus bark, velvety and full, after taste of chestnut and balsamic. Excellent tannin. Savoury, irony, intense, maybe it is a little weak in the centre of the mouth. Long anyway.
Very interesting, still young.
Vineyard sold in 2003 to Tappanappa(Croser/Lynch Bages), now called whalebone vineyard I believe.
Wrattonbully is situated just north of Coonawarra.

"The Stagecoach Road cuvée is sourced from the blocks located where the old Stagecoach road used to run through our vineyard and where the famous Highwayman Black Bart robbed the Wells Fargo Bank Stagecoach in 1877. This wine has a deep garnet color and combines aromas of blueberry, violets, hints of wisteria blossom, anise and mocha. On the palate it is layered with black currants, black cherry and fleshy black plums."

Needs time to open up. Very perfumed and well built. It will last another 10 years for sure. — 9 years ago

Kirsch-soaked sponge cake with sharp green chives. In a children's playground bordered with wisteria. Or those double-flavor packs of Nerds from the corner store. Excellent. — 8 years ago

Delicious! Easily the best Albana I've had, pure gold color, golden ripe pineapple, beeswax and wisteria. She watches My Little Pony! — 10 years ago

A revelation. Wisteria, gardenias, and lilies hang over meaty berries and subtle minerals, the flowers fade to herbs and the berries open to blood orange then... Bottle's done. — 12 years ago
