A beautiful rich, plush full bodied McLaren Vale Shiraz. Trial sentence. I can continue. Well performed on the Australian Show Circuit. Even though Innocent Bystander is based in the Yarra Valley the fruit for this Cuvée came from the Gateway biodynamic vineyard in McLaren Vale. Supple and delicious with that spicy overlay and soft tannins. — a month ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — 5 months ago

Dark fruited, oak and tannin structure still, nicely rich with complex flavors and still loads of grip, unlike the 1998 SS, this still needs more time, but BIG potential, the 1998 SS drinks beautifully tonight, this still needs more time!! — 3 years ago

I really like this Pinot. Earthy-Terrific balance of spice, smoke and raspberry - but my balance favors smoke! $16 at Costco... I would pay twice. — 8 years ago

Beautifully perfumed flower and sweet red fruits, the flavors show the red fruit as well, very well-balanced, soft tannins, close to mature, long, lingering finish, really a beautiful aged Oregon Pinot Noir that will pair wonderfully with the wild Copper River sockeye salmon!! — 3 days ago

Floral, dried red fruits, this is a more feminine style of Oregon Pinot than the more masculine style 1999 Temperance Hill, seems mature (or very close), very good! — 17 days ago

A delightfully elegant Pinot from NZ that could pass for a Côte de Nuit wine with ease. Red fruit and minerality aplenty. — 8 months ago

Lovely, off-dry, Alsatian VT-style Pinot Gris, nice viscosity and balance, medium-long finish, aging very, very well!! — 6 years ago

9.1

Deep garnet (almost ruby) hue with medium-high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cherry, chocolate, coffee, cream, licorice, mint, pepper, sage, smoke, tar, and vanilla. Medium-full body; medium-plus tannins; and medium-plus acidity. A complex and ever-evolving nose; a smooth yet chewy mouthfeel; and a silky, spicy finish. Not a typical full-bodied Australian Shiraz; the "Red Dog" Syrah clone gives added balance, elegance, and aromatics. Biodynamic. Outstanding QPR (on sale at K&L). — 6 years ago

An incredible vintage for Eola-Amity. I was surprised how primary it still was in its development. Beautiful to drink, but there is another level it can attain with a decade more of age. Amazing spice, brush, rich dark cherry fruit, and fine tannin. Many layered and complex. Finish was loooooong.

(@Delectable Wine this is the “Special Selection” cuvée of the ‘05 Seven Springs PN.)

This 1998 7 Springs Pinot seems mature, supple, candied red fruits, nice balance, good length, but not quite a typically-excellent bottle of this wine. — 14 days ago

Initially a bit closed, after two hours in the decanter this really opens up. Black cherry and sage come through on the nose and continue onto the palate with additional notes of cassis, bay leaf, and cloves. Has a persistent finish with herbs, spice, and black tea lingering on the palate. The herbal and spice flavors were really vibrant when paired with basil pesto pasta and mushrooms. Medium+ acidity, medium+ body, and medium tannins. This is the 2021 vintage. — 2 months ago

This is also “Dijon Clone” from the part of the old Seven Springs vineyard that was renamed “Anden” after a divorce between the original owners (305 cases). This is SUBSTANTIALLY more youthful (color, aromatics, flavors) than the 1998 SS, this seems like a 3-4 year old Chardonnay, great acidity, not at all overripe, medium-long finish, really just a lovely world class Chardonnay, kudos to Mark Vlossak!! — 6 years ago

This is Mark’s best effort - I remember being at St Innocent 20 years ago and the White Rose was stunning. This 06 is still youthful with a beautiful mouth feel and a subtle bramble & currant finish that lasts. Find it & drink it now. — 7 years ago
