Sparkling Shiraz 2019

Doug Powers
9.2

Picked this up while visiting the winery this morning, brand new release, dark purple color, some spritz, but no real tannins so drinks beautifully tonight, balanced, solid finish, I’ve heard these age for quite some time, but I didn’t make it 6 hours since purchase!! 😎🙄😁 — 14 days ago

9.0

$15 closeout & feels like theft! Inky massive, voluptuous wafting tons of dense black fruit, brooding, white pepper, game, bit feral, had a bit more nuance than many garden variety Shiraz. Very broad across the middle, generous ripe black fruit & pepper, decent balance, little clumsy & provincial, but definitely enjoyable. — 4 months ago

Reserve Shiraz 2021

9.0

Rich, lavishly oaked, tannic and quite structured, this solid Shiraz probably needs 5 or more likely 10 years to be ready to drink, but, well, traveling and all and can’t bring everything home, medium-long finish, really does need time!! — 14 days ago

Vintage 2020 | Licorice in smell, cherries, blackberries, I thought it to be pinot noir because it has a certain frivoliy. Wine with a story. Good effort. — 2 months ago

Wednesday random cellar pick. Good. Was expecting some sharpness but there was none. Super smooth and enjoyable. This is the easy drinking kind of wine I like to pair with Italian food. — 15 days ago

Crawford River

Young Vines Riesling 2016

Bob McDonald
9.0

Quite restrained on nose and palate. A slight touch of TDN amongst the white and yellow florals. The “young vines” were planted in 2000 and are no longer young as such. The Estate Riesling from this producer is one of the better Rieslings in Australia - from Henty on the Victorian south coast. A touch of sweetness with the mineral acidity. — 4 months ago
