True Colours Pinot Noir 2019

Very solid and authentic pinot. Funky savoury nose full or cedar spice and forest floor. Good weight. Lively. Nice pure sweet strawberry and red cherry flavour profile - similar to Giant Steps, but with high toned acid. Buy — 5 years ago

Yarra Valley Shiraz 2012

Dark red fruits but not plumps, creamy and rich on the palate, good acid, wood still in play, but great balance, a sleeper. — 6 years ago

Castle Rock Estate

Porongurup Pinot Noir 2018

As I mentioned in my previous Delectable note about this Cuvée - stewed red fruits. Strawberries and cherries. Made by the virtuoso winemaker of the Porongorups, Rob Diletti….. this time for himself instead of contract winemaking as he often does for his neighbours. Also Rob is an indemand Show Judge. Rob also makes a fabulous Riesling. — 10 months ago

Porongurup Shiraz 2017

Consistent notes from a year ago when we visited the winery in Porongurup WA and spent a wonderful hour with Owner and winemaker Rob Diletti. I love these cool climate peppery Shirazes. Should leave having the next one for a couple of years. — 6 years ago

Greer

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Rob Greer has got to be the alchemist of oenology! He took a terrible vintage and has produced pure California gold. Finish goes on and on and on. I need to let it sit open for a while to open up. It might have to open up in my stomach! — 8 years ago

It's a Rockstar!!! I wonder who turned you on to that wine?

Duke's

Magpie Hill Reserve Shiraz 2018

Delectable this is the Magpie Hill Reserve Shiraz not offered in your choices. Dukes better known for their award winning Rieslings but the Porongorup district of Western Australia also produces lovely spicy peppery meaty Shiraz with notes of liquorice, herbs and charcuterie. This is the first of 6 bottles bought at the Cellar Door a few years ago. Contract winemaking by the talented Rob Diletti from neighbouring Castle Rock Estate. Great value at only $31 AUD for a wine of this quality. Had another bottle 37 weeks later on the 21st December 2024 with consistent notes. Still can’t believe what great value this Shiraz is. — 3 years ago

Porongurup Riesling 2016

Tasted blind, presented by Sue Bell. I picked Riesling, Australian and missed Porongurups WA. A brilliant Riesling made by Rob Diletti at Castle Rock WA. Lovely aromatics of Musk and Bath Talc. At 5 years the acid had settled and the citrus was going towards stone fruit. Really enjoyed this. — 6 years ago

Il Vino Dal Tralcetto Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2014

Trader Joe’s - $14 - Received as gift from Rob & Jackie. Will rate when I try it. This wine is excellent! Very good Italian wine. Very smooth, light and not too dry. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a dry red Italian wine. I usually favor Cabernet Sauvignon but, this is exceptional. — 9 years ago
