Avon Brae

Lenton Brae

Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

See previous note from February 2023. A full bodied Margaret River Cabernet - cassis and herbs. This is really good. From the dress circle Wilyabrup area of northern Margaret river with neighbours like Moss Wood, Woodlands, Vasse Felix and Cullen etc. Barb said woody notes (not meaning oak influence). All the best Margaret River Cabernet attributes with the texture and mouthfeel of an excellent Barossa Shiraz. We both loved this wine. Have the last one in mid 2025. — 6 months ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Beautiful cab, great price. Soft, but big. Easy to drink alone, beautiful velvet fruit.

Enjoyed at Northside Kitchen in Avon, CO. (not featured as a selection)

Woodlands

Margaret Woodlands Vineyard Red Blend 2010

Previous notes apply. More cassis than the recently tasted 2008 Lenton Brae (nearby vineyard) and overall a slightly better wine. An amazingly good 2nd wine from Woodlands from an excellent vintage. This is predicted to be drinking well towards the end of this decade and as I have 5 left I will have one every 18 months from now on if I have the patience! I ended up having the next one 50 weeks later on 31st October 2021. Definitely more herbal and brambley characters than cassis and black currant. Just medium weight 91 points. I think drink the remaining bottles in the next few years. — 3 years ago

Domaine Sainte Claire Chablis Chardonnay 2019

Love this Chablis! Rock solid, 14.5 % alc. hiding somewhere. Simple yet so pleasant, nothing is off! Lemon sour candy, crushed rock, guava, flint, & some cologne from Avon when I was a kid! 🤷‍♀️ — 2 years ago

Raventos i Blanc

L'hereu Conca del Riu Anoia Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada 2011

I have been meaning to try this bubbly for awhile! No specialty wine stores in Avon IN. I did pick this up at a liquor store; only one on the shelf. Yes a 2011 for $ 22.99! Does that seem right? @Severn Goodwin ? Present pear, baked golden apples, brioche, mild acidity and honeycomb! — 4 years ago
