424 Yakima Valley Red Blend 2014

Dark, red purple with opaque, near black core. Blackberry and baked plum in the nose. Medium full palate echoes the nose adding black apple, juicy acidity, and woody, medium plus tannins. Finish is moderate in length and continues the palate. Excellent Washington red occupying that classic sweet spot between California fruit and Bordeaux structure. Classic Cab/Merlot pairings are an obvious match. Drink now through 2028. — 9 months ago

Mount Pleasant Wines

OP & OH Limited Release Hunter Valley Shiraz 2006

Very Hunter with earth, leather and red cherries, presented in a savoury manner. More full bodied on the palate than Hunter Valley Shiraz should be. In the mid 2000’s it was when Mount Pleasant was trying to emulate full bodied South Australian Shiraz instead of doing what they do best. This was most enjoyable but I still enjoy the old fashioned style made by Maurice O’Shea in the late 1940s and early 1950s in primitive conditions which were just medium bodied and very long lived. I once had a 1952 Mt Pleasant Stevens Vineyard made by the legend (birth year wine) which I bought at auction. It was over 40 years old when I consumed it. Barely medium bodied with amazing length and still kicking goals. A wonderful old curio and a privilege to drink. The “Maurice OShea” is the top Cuvée from Mt Pleasant these days. — 2 years ago

@Ceccherini Cristiano Thanks Cec. If you want a good read find a copy of The Wine Hunter about the life of Maurice O’Shea written by Campbell Mattinson. Amazing the quality of wine he made with candle light and gravity. Winemakers today would aspire to this level of quality.
