13.1%. Dark fruit on the nose. Seems dark to me in the glass. Hint of sweetness - figs. Dark cherries bright and juicy with good acidity. Burgundian in style. This is impressive! Very well done! I would buy this - from the San Diego Wine Co. . This should be available in other retail stores and from the winery it’s worth to seek out. — 2 days ago

Delicate and delicious. Nose has brambles, wild cherry, a whiff of walnut, and gravel. Flavorful but light on its feet, it has a purity of dark cherry fruit that lingers in a long finish. Got some fine grained tannin for a bit of aging. Very nicely done cool climate Cab Franc. Worked well with the Thanksgiving turkey. — 8 days ago

Mid Lemon in colour. Developing and putting on weight from 4 years ago and not as austere. Paraffin aromas on the way but not quite there yet - a touch of lanolin. Could cellar for at least another 5 years if desired. Fresh and clean from Frankland River and the Great Southland of Western Australia. Barb and I are heading that way over Christmas and New Year for our first visit taking in the towns of Albany and Denmark. Known for great Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet. — a day ago

Deliciously old school, structured, restrained Zin. Nose has pure spicy blackberry fruit, a whiff of maple syrup, and some almost Tuscan-style dry gravel underneath. Full flavored but with zero jamminess, it’s got the acid and tannin and ripeness to age for many more years. A classic. — 9 days ago

That nose. Could sniff and sniff...and sniff some more. How does he do it!? — 2 days ago

Too wound up right now to get an accurate read. Need to let it sit and blow off some alcohol. — 13 days ago

9.1

I always enjoy wines by this producer, even when the bottle is young (yes I should have waited). Lighter body. Really nice acidity. Red fruits on the nose. Flavors are tangy, earthen, and fruit driven. Fantastic finish even with young age. This wine should continue to develop for the next few years. — 12 days ago

Typical Dirty and Rowdy fashion. Shake Ridge fruit has always been interesting to me. The nose tends to be much more pronounced than other Dirty and Rowdy Mourvèdre’s. Strawberries, canned cranberries, orange zest. Little grip on the mouth. Cannot wait to see how this wine evolves. Fantastic Thanksgiving wine! — 8 days ago

Very nice. Plenty cherry. Good acidity. Has a real bite quite spicy. Not super complex but good stuff. Lacks secondary flavors but I like it. — 17 days ago
