This reminded me of the “dog food” analogy - meaning, this isn’t quite ready for human consumption.
@Robert Evans Jr needs to do his job and post all the wines...
This was good, but not great in my mind. Herbs and tobacco on the mid palate. Still a tannic monster. Good structure, but should have decanted this. Hold on to this vintage. — 3 years ago

Delicious! Acidic and fruit forward. Thank you @Charlie Evans! Love all the @Miner Family Winery wines you recommend! — 2 years ago
@Robert Evans Jr you suggested infanticide with the 2016 Kosta Browne. This is even more egregious. I actually thought the Pinot was quite good, but I’m pretty new to that world.
This is tight, but everything’s in the right place. Tannins throughout so dusty cherries, currant, and blackberries. There’s and little funk, hope it comes out more later. Have the opp to buy more at a good deal, so grabbed one to try. Gonna grab the rest. — 2 years ago
Depth of fruitful dodgering and nuancing the wine, dark fruit red fruit of cranberry cherry while vanilla chocolate mocha adds to its complexity of palate 🥡
Vanilla wood cigarleaf herby on palate is delivered

Ryan Tate brought over for dinner, enjoyed with paella. Exquisite Tuscan red.  — 2 years ago
Smells of plums and black cherries. Tate is a bit jammy with flavors of dark fruit like cherries and Black currant. Sour notes on the finish. Just a great wine by itself or with food. — 3 years ago

Dense Ruby in colour. All the classic Cabernet descriptors - Blackberry cassis, black olive and of course Mint - textbook Coonawarra Cabernet. On the palate such purity - ground cocoa, call it dark chocolate, berry fruits, touch of cedar. This wine at 10 years of age, whilst only young, and will live at least another decade, is drinking beautifully now. Made by the talented Sue Bell who was the Dux of the 2007 Len Evans Tutorial ( a handpicked group of only 12 - outstanding winemakers, somms and other full time wine professionals. Aubert de Villaine every year generously donates a mixed dozen of DRC, such was his friendship with Len Evans and James Halliday). Needless to say Sue Bell has one of the best palates in the country. A few years ago she was a guest Judge at the Toowoomba Wine Show where I often judge. I was in awe of her knowledge and her palate. On the strength of this wine I will order her 2015 Cabernet. — 2 years ago
