2013 Jacquez: inky black (non vitis vinifera variety). Savoury, black fruit; licorice, powder-fine tannin. — 9 years ago
Ridgemill Pinot G (so called as it straddles Grigio/Gris on the sensory spectrum). Good aromatics that leap out of the glass, textural and driving length that kinda surprises. — 10 years ago
2005 Black Dog Cabernet - First Ridgemill Estate vintage. At 10 it's still showing plenty in reserve. — 10 years ago
Ridgemill Estate, Granite Belt, Mourvèdre 2014: cherry, plum, twists of licorice through a juicy body. — 9 years ago
'Hungry Horse' Monastrell/Tempranillo/Garnacha blend. Meaty, really more about black 'fruits of the forest', briar. A little spice and fine tannin. — 9 years ago
Acid a touch jangly, let it settle for a far more rewarding experience. Touch and go for +1 higher — 10 years ago
