Great easy drinking wine if a little too sweet for me — a year ago
Thanks to the winemaker’s advice, I opened this because he admitted that he did not put as much sulfur in 2010 as he thought he should have - thus raising concerned about its ageability. I was pleased with the rest of product as it still had vibrant acidity and structured tannins. Mid-palate was was rich with black fruits. Solid effort out of Bridgewater, baby!! — 4 years ago

100 % Marquette = non-vinifera jackpot. This my first taste of this often remembered Vermont specialty. Honestly, it taste like a Cab Franc and Chambourcin 50-50 blend!! there is this unique spice profile that comes through in the back half that makes this a compelling food wine. I am pairing this with Vermont cheddars and then fresh salmon burgers with house made tartar slaw :) Color is dark garnet that speaks to a black cherry herbal lozenge…yes, a moderately a viscous mouthfeel. This could be brown bagged as a Bluestone red blend and no one would question it ;) — 4 months ago
Craiglee have been making wine on this site since the 1860s In a 3 Level bluestone gravity fed winery - about a half hours drive north of Tullamarine - Melbourne International Airport. Aromas of Liquorice and Spice. Medium minus palate weight - very different to Barossa or McLaren Vale Shiraz. Medium To light weight tannins. Great length despite the lack of palate weight - like a Pinot lovers Shiraz. Years ago I used to buy this cool climate Victorian Shiraz because of the white and black pepper, but no sign of that in this one - is Pat Carmody picking a little riper? Worth a visit for any visiting overseas Wine Lover so close to Tullamarine. — 4 years ago

Boom! Lee Hartman has continued his Chardonnay hitting streak with this 2016 barrel aged “standard”. Fruit comes from the Estate as well Silver Creek Vineyard. This is a complete, world-class Chard, that demo’s VA’s. prowess. The nose is alluring and beckoning...fresh lemon curd and warm toasted oak evenly sing harmony. The palate is as precise as it is rich. Full & round, the body is full and yet the texture is silky. Lemon Verbana is the driving force and it is fully integrated into the acid structure. Marvelous! More please :) — 3 years ago
aroma profile is broad w rich notes of various stone fruits alongside cantaloupe, lemongrass, Mediterranean herbs, camphor & a hint of bluestone gravel ~ palate begins rich as well yet is balanced by acidity, minerality & salinity and all along retains a cool tone ~ 2015 old vine single vyd Zieregg “Grosse STK Lage” is LEG!T — 4 years ago
