At the Yarra Yering dinner last Thursday night with winemaker, Sarah Crowe. YY was one of the first vineyards in Australia to make an excellent Pinot Noir. I remember buying a dozen of the 1986 - long since gone of course. Made by the late Dr Bailey Carrodus. A mixed planting of 4 clones in 1969. Red fruited with a touch of violets. 30% in new French barrels with the balance in used oak. The over riding lasting impression is its silky texture. — 3 months ago
A Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah (GSM) that delights with flavors of plum, dark berries and oak.
This wine is a satisfying complement to any special evening, ordinary or extraordinary.
What a terrific blend.

Deep purple in color; black cherries, vanilla, and cigar box on the nose; medium plus acidity, medium tannins; tastes like plums, cherries, and a hint of chocolate with a long finish. It's a little hot, but very drinkable. Nellie likes it. — a year ago
