'Tough Love' Karridale Margaret River Chardonnay 2022

A distinctive Chardonnay from the Margaret River by Western Australia. This is a fully sophisticated chardonnay for its price pint. Very thin and sharper wine than you may think , yet the fruit levels of 2023 vintage shows finesse. A bit citrus and a barely steely minerality with a balanced acidity makes it an attention getter and . Lively finish completes a tidy wine. — 14 days ago

Snake River Valley Cabernet - Syrah Blend 2018

We are members at this winery... I know... Idaho is still figuring out how to do wine, but this wine is a bit-o-alright! Every other month we make the drive to the winery to pick up our allocation. While there is no restaurant at the winery, you are allowed to bring a picnic lunch. Sitting inside or outside with a picnic lunch and w a tasting that comes free w membership is delightful! Staff is so pleasant, and the winery has remained open (with restrictions) during this time of Covid . We like the experience, and THAT’s why we are members. We were willing to put up w mediocre wine for the EXPERIENCE. But, hey, this wine definitely surpasses mediocre! — 4 years ago

Dolinsek Ranch Heritage Red Blend 2015

Another rollercoaster experience with Bedrock but happily this was on the up side; maybe 10 years is the key. Opened, tasted put in an aerator and went to dinner. The wine was excellent start to finish and did not seem to change much. A lot of dark fruits all around, smooth finish and just drinking great. Too busy at dinner with friends to have detailed notes. — 3 days ago

Snake River Valley Syrah 2015

It was time to taste local again!! Nice, mature Syrah from the Snake River Valley in Idaho. Notes of ripe mulberry, almost jammy lifted by warm spices. Low acidity and very soft tannins. Time to drink it. — 3 years ago

'Perfect Day' Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc - Sémillon Blend 2022

Nicely balanced blend of Sauvignon Blanc (73%) and Semillon (27%), sharp notes of tropical fruits, lime and citrus peel. Dry and hint of fruity on the back end. Refreshing and smooth finish and some minerality finish. A great sipper! — 5 months ago

'Cannonball' Margaret River Red Blend 2018

Dark garnet with near black core. Cabernet-forward nose of cassis with a bit of green. Palate is full-bodied with medium tannins and juicy medium plus minus acidity, and confirms the nose adding no blackberry and a wee bit more bell pepper (normally a turn-off for me, but in this higher-acid blend, it works). Finish is moderately long and continues the palate. Australia has come a long way with its reds and this is a great example of how. Fruit forward yet food friendly, the Cannonball is an excellent entry into higher end Aussie reds. Drink now through 2028. — 2 years ago
