Whispering Hill Single Vineyard Series Mount Barker Shiraz 2018

Spicy mulberry aromas and flavors in this lovely aged Shiraz from the Whispering Hill vineyard in the Mt. Barker area of the Great Southern region, the winery is about 1 hour north of the Margaret River area, on the way south from Perth, still quite dark color, starting to show its age, but still a very fine Shiraz!! — 6 months ago

You know I’ll be around. Probably processing Tolpuddle fruit.
If you give me a clear time on the 31st I can book you a table in the tasting room. Thanks for the support Bob.

Mount Barker Block 9 Shiraz 2017

Dense Ruby. Black Pepper, dried herbs and dried meat. Not all savoury - also a nice sweetness- plum and other dark fruits. I noticed my notes when I first tasted this at the winery Cellar Door in Christmas 2019 - “My kind of Shiraz”. Outstanding. Trophy for best West Australian Red at Royal Perth Wine Show; 96 points from Ray Jordan. — 7 months ago

@Bob McDonald, where is the cellar door? We were through Mt. Barker and ate lunch there a few times in late 2023, and ventured out to Duke’s and also another winery 5-6 miles further east of Mt. Barker, but due to my lack of knowledge, were not aware of this producer. Oh well. . . .

@Doug Powers Singlefile is owned by South African interests. Another good winery in Mount Barker is Plantagenet - very much worth a visit.

Mount Barker Summit Chardonnay 2019

A label new to me I bought at a Downs Club tasting. A little funk on the nose with almonds and under ripe stone fruit. Impressive if not a little light on the palate with the nose carrying through on to the palate. On the 2nd day this had filled out finishing with a saline minerality. Medium plus intensity and length. Proves once again that the Adelaide Hills is an exceptional area for Chardonnay - think Shaw and Smith M3 Chardonnay. — 4 years ago

Normand Western Australia Pinot Noir 2018

A sappy red fruited slightly savoury perfume…stewed fruits. Reminds me of those Western Australia Pinot characteristics. I used to buy Moss Wood Pinot where the fruit came from Pemberton if I recall correctly. This WA Pinot from Mount Barker, we bought at the winery a few years ago reminds me of the old Moss Wood Pinots. I don’t think this is a cellaring proposition but it is tasting great at 6 years old. On the 2nd night a whiff of honeycomb from the oak. — 2 years ago

Block 9 Shiraz 2017

We bought this at the cellar door in Mt Barker WA in early January on a trip over there before COVID hit and state borders were closed. First of 6. Dark Ruby in colour. Very peppery on nose and palate with touches of cinnamon - fruit is in the plum spectrum. Drinking this rather young - it will develop more complexity. I personally love this Northern Rhone style. — 6 years ago
