@Ron R well I’m a believer now! Surprised my top two were Aussie vs Cote Roties and US syrahs…

Jumpin' Juice (Patrick Sullivan)

Half Full Pinot Blend 2021

This is a blend of syrah, cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.
The wine is red but completely translucid like a Tavel wine. The nose is funky with dome discreet barnyard notes, a typical herbaceous note that I associate with Sauvignon Blanc, some minerally notes like crushed rocks, pomegranate and strawberry too. Very interesting!
The palate shows a good acid drive, pomegranate and strawberry notes all along, some width, a soft and gentle mouthfeel that changes in the rear with some lively tannins that create another layer over a rather long and fruity finish with pomegranate and strawberry. It's fresh and fun, it's super easy going. Textbook glouglou wine. Enjoyed slightly chilled. 12,5% abv.

Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc 2005

Wow, really impressive. So tightly wound but with gorgeous structure and fruit. I would have expected a much higher Cab Franc percentage. So fine and sophisticated, loved it. — 9 months ago

Tar and Roses

Shiraz 2014

Opaque dark purple color. This wine took a while to open up. Not that great right out of the bottle but this wine developed with some air. Aromas were very savory and organic. (Violets, cedar, bramble and just a hint of blackberry). Blueberry , Blackberry and dark plum fruit flavors evolved with time. Not the fruit bomb I was expecting. Nice hint of smokey oak on the finish. — 3 years ago

Valli

Bendigo Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Light ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of cherry, leather, strawberry, tar. Musty on the nose. Medium-light body with grippy (youthful) tannins and plus acidity. Balanced finish. Age-worthy. — 9 months ago
