It…tastes like Syrah! With good tannic structure to boot. I was surprised. — 3 years ago

A vertical of 2010, 2013 and 2015.
Although these styles of Cabernet aren’t my style (rich, brooding, opulent)
The 2015 was more refined straight off the bat.
The 2010 was a mobster ready to take your kneecaps. — 8 years ago

Different, serious, less of a structured discussion and more of a Hunter S. Thomson missive. Paired well with salted raw corn. — a year ago

Bin 0 has been made continuously since the 1890’s and was regarded as the premium Shiraz from Bests until they introduced the Thomson Family Shiraz (first made in 1992). A Thomson Family Shiraz was not produced in 2009 so the best Shiraz from the estate went into this wine. The colour was a very dense Ruby. Dusty dried plums on the nose together with black pepper and spices. The palate has latent energy - self contained power, yet to reveal all of itself but remains opulent. Amazing how good this wine is considering the late heatwave conditions in this vintage in the Grampians. Possibly saved by the inclusion of old vine material from the 1860s which would normally go into the Thomson Family Shiraz. A great wine, still with a long future, easily through to the end of this decade. My first of 3. Next in a few years 2027? — 2 years ago

Overview
A serious, soulful Syrah that channels the Northern Rhône while remaining unmistakably Californian. This is P2KV at its most refined and powerful.

Aromas & Flavors
Explosive yet precise, violets, fresh flowers, dark fruit, and savory undertones. Complex, expressive, and beautifully layered.

Mouthfeel
Exceptionally smooth with outstanding balance. Moderate acidity and tannins support a structured, elegant frame that elevates the entire experience.

Food Pairings
Grilled lamb, duck breast, wild mushrooms, or pepper-crusted steak.

Verdict
World-class Syrah. Finesse over force, balance over excess. If you find a bottle, don’t hesitate. This is one of the great P2KV wines and among your top Zins/Syrah globally for good reason. — a year ago

If you told me it was a low alcohol bubbly I’d almost believe you—this is really a pleasant sipper, great if you are entertaining non-drinkers and want something sparkling that’s way more sophisticated than Martinelli’s. — 3 years ago
