Big Pig Shiraz, 2014
WOW!! This is a phenomenal drop! Silky and sexy, lush berries and sweetly spiced with liquorice and vanilla. Absolute perfection, I think this just may be the best wine I've ever tasted, and that's saying something. 10/10 — 5 years ago

This and the Allemand Cornas were 1 and 1A last night at the Berry poolside pig roast. Fully mature and not as tannic as many La La’s I’ve had. This strutted from the pop. Roast venison, black olive, menthol, sage and an undercurrent of bright red fruit to compliment the darker components. In a very very good place. — 8 years ago
I adore this wine! Crisp, refreshing, but still with a nice body to it. — 9 years ago
This pale wine shows mineral and herbal qualities on the nose. The wine smells much grassier than the previous two New Zealand SBs I sampled (Babich and Greywacke). The palate shows a boatload of citrus minerality, too, with a racy acidity. Crustaceans and mollosks are welcome here. — 3 years ago

What a great addition to the Hall lineup! Jammy, but not over the top. Perfect entry into Hall’s finest... — 8 years ago

Allemand is always a rare treat. The 2009 was surprisingly approachable after about two hours in the decanter. My favorite on a night of great wines. Thank you to @Michael Meyer for the pull. — 8 years ago
