Vinogorje Kutjevo

Graševina 2024

Floral aromas with hints of peach/pear and citrus. On the palate a nice refreshing acidity and the aforementioned aromas with a little grape juice kick to keep you coming back for more. Went down maybe a little too easily. Enjoyed this one and would absolutely buy it again! — 3 months ago

Kutjevo Graševina 2022

A dry white wine that's full bodied. Nectarine fruit notes start it off. It has a salt middle and a very floral finish. Superb! — 2 years ago

Seven Apart

Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Alder Yarrow
9.3

One of the most ambitious new entrants to the Napa luxury wine scene sits high up on Atlas Peak. In true “modern Napa” form, Seven Apart @sevenapart is a spare-no-expense project that is the work of financier Don Dady and NFL star Jason Kyle. Andy Erickson of @faviawines is their inaugural winemaker. Deep black cherry and cassis and tobacco morph into licorice and dried flowers and dried herbs on the journey across the palate. Sumptuous and polished, but with excellent acidity and an admirably restrained 14.1% alcohol. The bottle, as you’d expect from such a venture, is offensively heavy, but the wine is good. This is the remains of a press sample. — 5 years ago

Clonakilla

Ballinderry Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2005

Dark crimson in colour. Notes of cedar, cigar box, mulberry and blackberry but not too much of the latter. Tannins resolved. The wine is in a good place at 13 years and my last bottle. Great value at around $30. A good example of continental Cabernet from the Canberra district. Pretty much equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Clonakilla better known these days for its stellar Shiraz Viognier. — 8 years ago

Radovan

Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Radovan obviously makes excellent wines. After refosco, which was a really pleasent surprise, I’ve tried this CS, which is even better. A typical fruit forward relatively young cab, with some herbal notes and oak. Medium aftertaste. Made in Istria, but with all characteristics of continental climate CS. — 8 years ago

Age has not slowed this wine down in 2025. Multifaceted. Almost too much going on. Doesn't know when to settle down. — 10 months ago

Rosé Blend

2023 -Vintage - rose made from Pinot Noir and Zweigelt - surprisingly good (the label didn’t really draw me) med plus acidity with a Pinot Noir like character in the aroma and a slight backend spice which I guess to be the Zweigelt -lower-ish ABV 12.5%ABV worked well with my scallops — a year ago

Slavonija Bijelo vino Graševina 2023

An interesting dry white wine vinified by Feravino winery, 100% Graševina, also known as Welschriesling, it originally comes from vineyards located by the South of Hungarian border (that´s what the name stand for SoHu!) from the appellations Fericanci, Slavonia, Croatia.

Hand harvested and de-stemmed. All fermentation was done in stainless steels tanks at controlled
temperatures to preserve the aromas and freshness. The wine has compelling aromas of green crushed apples, mandarine peel and lemon zest that gives some vibrancy upon opening.

On the palate, stony fruits dominate from the entry, mineralilty is evident and has some tension and weight. It also has a texturized finish with an interlaced pleasant astringency, loved how acids remains persistent which makes a rounded, complex an attractive style. A wine to flex your taste buds. Cheers!

Reserve Riverside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Really enjoyed this bottle. Tried the 2018 and the 2019 and this one was less fruit and more stone, mineral and soil. Long lasting, very bold tannic finish that I love. (🎥 Casino Royal) — 4 years ago

9.0

The wine is deep ruby colour. On the nose the wine has pronounced intensity aromas with primary aromas of black fruit (blackberry, black cherry, black plum); secondary aromas of oak (vanilla, cloves, coconut, cedar) and Malolactic conversion (butter, cream); and tertiary aromas of dried fruit (prune), earth and meat.
On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity, high fine grained tannins and medium alcohol. The wine has pronounced intensity flavours with primary flavours of black fruit (blackberry, black cherry, black plum); secondary flavours of oak (vanilla, cloves, coconut, cedar) and Malolactic conversion (butter, cream); and tertiary flavours of dried fruit (prune), earth and meat.
The wine is full bodied and has a long finish.
The wine is outstanding. The wine is balanced with ripe, rich and dried black fruit supported by a high acidity and medium alcohol and while tannic, the tannins are fine-grained. The wine has a long finish that is full of flavor. The aromas and the flavours are pronounced and full of nuanced tertiary aromas and flavours. It is showing typicity of an old-world continental moderate climate/vintage Syrah.
