Moss Wood

Moss Wood Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Generally one of the best Cabernets in Margaret River and therefore Australia. Very dark Ruby in colour. Cassis and blackberry, ripe and rich. I would never pick this as Margaret River in a blind tasting. Where are the herbal notes? But still recognisable as a quality Cabernet. The 2009 Moss Wood was given a poor score of only 84 points by Huon Hooke who is one of Australia’s leading wine scribes. He said “over ripe fruit is the problem “. I have always rated Huon’s reviews and have been a long time subscriber to his website and always will be but I don’t believe he got this right. On 4th July 2012 he said “I can’t see this ageing well” and gave a drinking window of 2012 to 2018. Well tonight at 15 years of age it is drinking very well. James Halliday gave the wine 95 points. — 6 months ago

Thanks for the note Bob. I've got a few in the cellar of this vintage. Are they good to hold for awhile longer? Cheers

Dehlinger Winery

Estate Bottled Goldridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

Excellent, with cola, dark fruits and some spice. Nice silky finish. Just got to think this would have been a bit better at 5 years vs 7. Got to drink my stash up. — 2 months ago

Keefer Ranch Pinot Noir

Heavy on the cherry / red fruit flavour — and that’s not a bad thing at all — 5 months ago

Merry Edwards

Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir 2007

Enjoying a Pinot from one of my favorite wineries, at least when it was owned by Merry Edward’s. Finished the last bottle from 2007, from a case I purchased at the winery. Just a lovely Pinot with cherry and dark fruit with good acidity — a year ago
