Hunter Valley Sémillon 2016

I’ve been wanting to try HV Semillon for a long time. First I’ve seen in Portland. Love it. Fresh, zip zap acidity. Maybe a little RS. Semillon waxy body and finish. A little high toned savoriness too. — 8 years ago

The Heritage Vineyard Zinfandel 2012

I've never been a huge Zinfandel guy, but this one really caught my attention. The Heritage Vineyard produced by the Zinfandel Advocates and Producers, is big, bold, and juicy. Blackberries and cinnamon are on the nose and the tongue. I'm tasting cloves, some very nice spices, and oak on the palate. It's very solidly structured wine that truly opens up with a little decanting. Just a wee bit of menthol on the long finish takes this baby home. This is something I could drink everyday and love. — 11 years ago

SmithCullam Off Dry Riesling

Vintage 2013; written on back. So impressed with this, tasted blind in options. I though Old World and with a touch more age, the latter misconception (or both, really) connected to a really intriguing depth to the citrus fruit tones. Nose very fragrant, floral and citric, with a green bean-like hint and fennel. Just a zap of sweetness on the front palate and then whoosh, it's this long, focused and thrilling palate. The texture is soft, the lemon/lime fruit intense and there's unmissable gingery spice that zings through the finish. Complex, assertive wine with lovely balance. — 11 years ago
