The Canberra district's best red wine. Opulent with a heady perfume of raspberries and cassis. A smooth palate with dark plum, cherry and berry flavours. Tim Kirk is an impressive winemaker. — 4 years ago

Brief notes. Had my last bottle on 17th August and it was sublime. More fulsome with less citric acid than the early years. Notes of mandarin and a little white peach on the palate. Not a hint of petrol/kerosene. Worth the patience to cellar it for 11 years. Tim Kirk, the winemaker reckons you could cellar it for 15 years. — 3 months ago

Dark fruit on the nose, soft supple tannins mid palate and a pleasant fruity / spicy finish that lingers. Consistent throughout. Great value for the price by Kirk Venge. — 4 years ago

Thank you @Jason and Jennie / amazing wine and Kirk Venge is making delicious wine - RP scored this 97 and I was just not willing to go that far but one of the best Napa cabs in awhile for me - this was consumed during the WNH Sunday virtual zoom tasting and to share virtually with Jason and Jennie was even more amazing - wine had legs forever - deep ruby color - smell of dark red cherries and raspberries and coco - taste and finish incredible - fruit forward delicious smooth - all of the above help create big bold beautiful in a bottle and left me with a huge smile — 4 years ago

See previous notes for this Cuvée - a Shiraz Viognier from the ACT made by Bryan Martin who is the winemaker at the nearby and famous Clonakilla, for Tim Kirk. Pepper and Spice with Charcuterie - in fact like a junior version of Clonakilla. Interestingly the large label has pencil images of charcuterie in a butcher’s shop. Also excellent QPR. My last bottle. — 7 months ago

17 Family Reserve is a beautifully woven expression of power, finesse and sexy. Kirk is quite talented. Oak, fruit, acid and tannins are tight and expressive. — 4 years ago

This is a new one for me, which was suggest by @Paul T- Huntington Beach - thanks bud.
This is a great Russian River example from Kirk Venge. Beautiful, vibrant nose of roasted almonds and honey. Palate is textured and focused. I’m serious when I say this mirrors aspects of Aubert’s appellation bottlings. Give this stunner a whirl. Sourced from Last Bottle at a competitive price. — 4 years ago
