True Winter

Winter Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Inky in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, raisins, cedar, licorice, vanilla, tobacco, herbs, spices, cola, light eucalyptus and black pepper

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, extracted and fruit forward. Soft and elegant, yet in your face kind of wine. Tangy and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle and a great pop and pour wine, with a great nose, right out of the bottle.

This 14 year old Napa Cabernet is drinking beautifully now. Big and juicy. Tannins are nicely integrated by now, and so is the alcohol.

Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Nicely balanced at this point, and showing a smooth mouthfeel. Complex and interesting by itself as a sipping wine, to share with good friends. It's a shame that this rare wine is no longer being produced.

A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

15.4% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

$100 (at release).

Great Southern Riesling 2009

Aromatics of Talc, white flowers a little peach and grapefruit. On the palate citrus and peach with diminishing acid. Just a fabulous mature Riesling with just a hint of petro chemical developing in the form of paraffin. It stamps the Great Southern in Western Australia as one of the premium Riesling districts in Australia. One of the 1001 wines and deserves to be. James Halliday wrote “year in, year out, one of Australia’s best Rieslings”. — 3 years ago

Miamup Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Delectable Wine
9.2

Displaying spice-accented cherry, redcurrant and floral qualities, with a hint of tobacco, this is a classic expression of elegant Margaret River Cabernet. Seamless and lively on the sharply defined palate, it fleshes out through a long finish that's framed by polished, even tannins. $23.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021) — 3 years ago

Western Australia Chardonnay 2017

This was incredible. All the complexities of great chardonnay are there - citrus, cream, mineral, brioche, roasted hazelnuts. Bready/mealy flavours are pronounced (malo) Perfect balance of fruit intensity and structure. For A$60 this is a steal! — 7 months ago
