v13. Drinking well. Rich, smokey nose. Luscious bing and black cherry medley. Full, bright, round, earth and coffee finish. — 2 years ago
When you say chardonnay in Italy is tricky
But when we think what they grow in Franciacorta for their sparkling it is all about quality
And the side "surprise" is how their non sparkling Chardonnay show
Marvellous mineral
Great balance
Amazing zingy and persi aftertaste
Bellavista isn't just anyone
They definitely know what they're doing
IMO one of the best Italian Chardonnay at the moment
I had memory of the ca del bosco one being great but this one sits just on his side.
The bonus was having it at sunset on a hill over Byron Bay, Bangalow to be precise.
One of those wine that gets stuck with the memory. — 6 months ago

Classic Central Coast Pinot notes -- cherries, green herbs, and flowers -- done in a silky smooth, balanced, incredibly lush style. I could drink wine like this every day. And would, if I could afford it! — 4 years ago

Degustation with Delectable friend Byron Hewett and his wife Paulina at Restaurant Dan Arnold in Brisbane. This was the first matching wine, a Muscadet from the Loire Valley. Fresh and grapey. No oak influence, low acid Must drink more Muscadet in the warmer months. — a year ago

"Odedi"
Dark purple/ inky in color with a reddish rim.
Beautiful nose with wild flowers, red cherries, currents, sweet strawberries, dark chocolates, light tobacco, light wood, Indian spices and black pepper
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with sour cherries, plums, cooked strawberries, spices, herbs, light wood, coffee and peppercorn.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 8-year-old Petit Verdot from Los Angeles County is still drinking very nicely now. Fruity and elegant. Tangy and interesting.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly, and show the beautiful nose, which I loved.
Not what one might expect from a California Petit Verdot, however it is very interesting to try.
I had this vintage 3 years ago, and it was drinking better then.
A good food wine that I paired with cheeses and dried meats.
100% Petit Verdot grapes were hand-picked and aged for 44 months in French oak barrels. A small production of only 360 bottles.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
