This was a very good rose. Beautiful nose, waves of strawberry, light and fresh, nice long finish. I usually avoid labels like this- glad I didn’t. — 10 months ago

Thought this was a Burg in our blind, which just reiterates my belief that the Macedon’s the best cool-climate wine region in Australia! I am biased though, having spent a good two years working there. Absolutely love the area, people, and wines. JH’s note is pretty apt here: “From parcels planted at 12,000 and 14,500 vines per ha, clones of MV6, 777 and 667, wild-fermented with 50% whole bunches. Cleverly constituted, with lifted, fresh purple fruits, immaculate balance and harmony, the finish long and persistent. Ready when you are… drink to 2029” — 4 years ago

2000 Sine Qua Non “The Hussy” 100% Roussanne from the Stolpman and Alban vineyards. 14.9% alcohol. According to the back label, “Hussies are quite rare rare! There are only about 1400 of them.” At least that was true about 18 years ago. I suspect that Hussies are significantly more rare these days. Still my favorite SQN Wood boxed set, complete with strategically placed “Peep Hole” over the Magnum label. A label that somehow made it past the discerning eyes of BATF only one year after the same bureaucrats struck down “The Good Girl” which then subsequently became “The Boot” ((as in “the label got the boot”). Vibrant glistening gold with a nose of mangoes, peaches orange marmalade and white flowers. Still vibrant and decadent with that a honeyed apricot and fig mid palate with some smokey/toasty accents. Typical SQN lengthy finish. Stunning texture. Love that Roussanne glycerin-unctuosity. Just can’t get enough of these one-of-a-kind hedonistic whites from the Master. Happy 4th of July all you SQNers! — 8 years ago

Skin contact blend of Pinot Gris, Orange Muskat, Tocai Friulano and Gewurtztraminer. Medium orange color. Aromas and flavors of grapefruit, tropical fruits, wet stones and toasted coconut. A very savory mineral note on the long finish. Pleasantly funky. Palate tingling acidity and the effect of Carbonic Maceration (possibly the reason for the wine’s name) is obvious. Wonderful texture and mouthfeel. Complex and very fresh tasting. Quite interesting and delicious. — a year ago

I never have a Rosé unless it’s from Provance. This is not in the same class of course, but pretty damn good. — 4 years ago

This was a recommend from K & L. It was mentioned when I asked for a “chill-able red” that wasn’t “Love you Bunches”. This wine fit the bill, and was a great pairing with jambalaya pasta! — 7 years ago

Wow. One of the most interesting Sangiovese that I have had. Nice under carbonic that brings out notes of rhubarb tart. Great with grilled vegetables in the summer. — 7 years ago

Love this juice! Checked in on it tonight after a year since our last.

Appearance: Medium light body, deep garnet with very light opacity

Nose: Fresh strawberries and hibiscus, very flowery

Taste: Rose and bunches of flowers, strawberry juice, some savory meatiness. Lively and so well balanced, this has integrated well over the past year.

Beautifully balanced and likely still a couple of years from hitting its stride, although it is great now and I would not hesitate to check in on one if you have a few to spare. We love the brooding but balanced feel of this wine - one of our first, and favorite, Patty Greens. — 9 years ago
