This is 93-94 this young. I was a little surprised they slotted this last in the tasting. I would have led with it. However, it didn’t end up being our last wine. Leslie was kind enough to open another.

Both plums, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, mix of dark berry cola, nice, soft baking spices-nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, vanillin, grainy limestone, wet clay, dark, rich, forest floor, some dry herbs, excellent fresh & withering florals that are a combination of; dark, red, some blue and violets, nice round acidity, a smooth, elegant finish that softly structured, balanced and wire to wire smooth and elegant with a full minute finish.

Photos of; a pano of their stunning view of Pritchard Hill, Their dual sided wall of fame of bottles the staff at the estate have enjoyed and their tasting room table. They did an excellent job curating it. — 3 months ago

Still a baby . Many great years in front of it. So sad that Leslie stopped buying fruit from the original 4 acres. — 4 years ago

Belated notes on New Year’s Eve! Allison Oli wedding celebration dinner 10-7-24 Water Witch Club, “Uncle Jimmy” wine tasting table with vertical of Riesling and world tour of Pinot Noir. Third stop on world tour, more into the lusher California style with richer red fruits and floral notes even at this age but a bit more sense of heat. Quite a few liked this. Also no surprise. — 4 months ago

OMG, just had a flight of Italians which I love but one friend said they don't like Pinots so I ordered and was not disappointed. This is amazing and fun sharing with friends at the Fort Worth club with Elizabeth and Leslie — 5 years ago

Pale pale yellow - incredibly pale for a 13 year old wine. All the descriptors for aged Hunter Valley Semillon - Lemon, beeswax, wet straw, lanolin. Still with sprightly acid - zesty. Will go on for a few more years. One of the premium Semillons in the Hunter along with Lovedale and Vat 1. ILR standing for the owner and winemaker, Iain Leslie Riggs. See previous note in September 2018. Also December 2017. — 2 years ago
