Hugh Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Interesting cool climate cab led Aussie Bordeaux…think I left it too late to drink it, best at 5-7 years given freshness in winemaking style? — 9 months ago

Spatlese Gewürztraminer 2004

9.0

Quite the surprise. Half expecting oxidation and a synthetic cork and experience with previous Riesling but this one held up nicely. Nice golden color and the tropical floral fruit oily notes carrying through with some minerals for balance and that touch of sweetness. Great pairing for the hot pot of beef pork salmon and veggies! First ever attempt and it’s perfect. 10% ABV and polished off two thirds of bottle! — 6 years ago

EB 10 Ginger Rizz Riesling 2014

Delectable told me I drank this exact wine 4 years straight after it had been bottled.
4 years later and my love was rekindled.
Such a rad and fun Riesling, tickles the senses.

Wesburn Pinot Noir 2016

Light cherry red in colour. Cherry and raspberry together with a jubey confectionery note on the nose and palate. On the palate “bigger” than your normal Yarra Valley Pinot. Winemaking Notes: 10% whole bunch, partially de-stemmed - a portion foot stomped. Open fermenters - matured for 12 months in old oak. Indigenous yeast; No filtration, no fining. — 3 years ago

Côtes de Bourg Red Bordeaux Blend

My favourite Cotes de Bourg wine & after having the yummy 2010 & 14 recently I wondered if a 19 year old top vintage @ £98 would hold well & yes it sure didly 😉 88 points from Parker 🤣 but not worth it’s hefty price tag 🤑

Hugh Gruyere Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

From magnum. A well balanced well made medium bodied Cabernet from Mac Forbes in the Yarra Valley. Some vegetal notes to the red fruits but in balance and easy to drink with a Waygu Porterhouse on the 23rd with relatives from the UK. Probably at its peak. Bought back in the day as we have a son named Hugh who is with us from NYC and like many of his contemporaries has given up drinking! — 6 months ago

Bowers Harbor Vineyards

Riesling 2016

2016. Smokey Hollow. Old Mission Peninsula. What a very pleasant and enjoyable surprise. This was a light tart and refreshing wine. Light golden color and light citrus aroma. A little sweetness and apple flavor that went very well with an eclectic dinner including ribs with Carolina sauce and red pepper, Pa Dutch sweet & sour Mac salad m, bok choi and kimchee. Tough menu but the wine came through with flying colors. Really very good! — 8 years ago
