Brave New Wine

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2014

An absolutely alluring nose with cloves, spice, dried meat and a trace of pepper. Barely medium weight on the palate. Barb loved it for that. Very different to Barossa or McLaren Vale Shiraz. Without a doubt the best Shiraz Viognier blend in Australia although Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 2 (with a few other Rhone varieties in the blend) would give it a run for its money. Really very good with a few years to go but pretty much at its peak. — 13 days ago

It was fine. Would drink it again. — 2 days ago

Mohua

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Could drink this frequently. Nice acidity, well manicured lawn, slight grapefruit held up very well to two different dishes but easily quaffable on its own. Crusher! — a month ago

Mt. Brave

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. Mount Veeder used to (generally) be a mountain fruit pushover until the last two decades. That has changed. Mt. Brave been killing it for some time and this is no exception. A token trace of richness up front but quickly swept into mid and post-palate tannins. Grippy but not overtly so. 10.09.24. — a month ago
