Majestic Plough Malbec 2012

See several previous notes. My last of these Cuvées from Kangaroo Island South Australia and owned by the French Lurton family of Cheval Blanc fame. Savoury plum with earthy overtones. With air the aromas were almost intoxicating. Quite bold and full bodied on the palate - oak has integrated. Rich and spicy yet cleansing and moreish. Touch of camphor finishing with fine sandy tannins. — 2 years ago

Dudley Bubbly Limited Release Kangaroo Island Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc

Superb … actually bloody superb. Hint of sweetness, bit of smokiness and smooth, so smooth!! Pear, apples and a hint of summer grasses.
This is a warm spring day in a glass

Keyneton Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz 2018

Purchased from Marion Hotel and Cellars near Adelaide, we enjoyed this in American River on Kangaroo Island. This full-bodied Shiraz evolved beautifully over the evening, revealing layers of dark berries, pepper, tobacco, Australian bark and earth, and a hint of anise, with a spicy finish. Balanced and complex, it earned full bonus points for how much we enjoyed it. A great wine, albeit with a screw cap. — 14 days ago

North Fork of Long Island Cabernet Franc 2022

From Williston Ave. Wines and Spirits. More funk in this one, like I bit into a raw, ripe cranberry. That and apples, herbs like oregano 🤔 — a year ago

Limited Release Mary's Blush Rosé Blend

Decadent Father’s Day lunch very suitably accompanied by this super fresh crisp Rosé. Summer fruits abound (raspberries, dragon fruit) with a nose that is like a field full of fresh flowers after rain!
Delightful and decadent undersells this!

The Investigator Kangaroo Island Cabernet Franc 2008

See previous notes. My last bottle - purchased at the winery on Kangaroo Island. 100% Cabernet Franc. Herbs , Tea leaves, Charcoal, Black, fruits, a touch of caramel oak. Quite a full bodied opulent wine showing those black fruits. A product of the warm 2008 vintage in South Australia. A classy wine balancing the ripe fruit with the right amount of oak treatment. Very polished as you would expect from a $150 wine. Shows Jaques Lurton’s (Cheval Blanc) experience with the Cabernet Franc grape. — 3 years ago
