Painted Passage

Perrier-Jouët

Belle Epoque Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier Blend 2014

No notes taken after a large final day at the Australian Grand Prix in Casa Ferrari. I thought the matching glasses to the painted bottle a very classy touch. Pale salmon in colour. A lovely refreshing drink with notes of wild strawberry and a creamy sweetness to the palate. The mousse is not fine but it remains a delicious Rose Champagne. — 4 days ago

Waiheke Island Syrah 2008

Nicely fruity New Zealand Syrah, in addition to blackberry and smoky aromas and flavors, also shows some bacon fat notes and some solid structure, rich and complex, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — a year ago

Saint-Joseph Le Passage Syrah 2018

Saturated and fairly rich, but not out of balance. Needs a hearty braise or something wintery. — 2 years ago

Mataro 2015

Mid Ruby red in colour with a tawny edge. Sour cherry with touches of pepper and cloves. Not as raspberry as I was expecting from old vine Mataro. With a couple of hours of aeration the raspberry notes started coming through finishing with Sandy tannins. This wine is made by the multi talented Andrew Caillard who is the supremo of Fine Wine retailer and auctioneer Langtons who allowed Andrew to make his superb range of wines under his own label using old vine Mataro and Shiraz; painted the exquisite labels himself and who achieved a Master of Wine in his spare time. I am lucky to have 5 of these beauties left. 96 points from James Halliday. — 4 years ago

Painted Rock

Estate Grown Okanagan Valley Syrah 2021

2022 vintage.
Painted Rock has always been one of the best producers in British Columbia.
Aromas of deep black fruit black flowers and perfumed.
Rich and juicy. Black berries, spicy raspberries and so smooth on the finish.

Points + Unknown Steel Plow Vineyard Grenache Blend 2018

PJW #3 - better than the Eisele Syrah - fruit forward, not offensive, pretty fresh, but weird little acidic twist at the end — 7 months ago
