The Cigar Menzies Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Not overly complex but nonetheless delightful. Sweet Coonawarra dusty tannin! — a month ago

The Signature Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2006

Lots of mint on the nose (69% Cabernet Sauvignon; 31% Shiraz) together with blackberry. On the palate plenty of drive and power in this Cabernet Shiraz blend - layers of fruit, oak and spice. Rich and full bodied - the perfect accompaniment for a vintage Porterhouse steak - Waygu marbelling. Oak has integrated since the tasting 5 years ago. A pity that it takes 20 years for Yalumba’s Signature red to reach its peak but probably true. Interestingly the wine is matured for 22 months in American, French and Hungarian barrels coopered at Yalumba. This was the last bottle from a dozen originally purchased. — 3 months ago

Condrieu Lône Millésime Viogner 2015

2015 vintage. Yah…decade-old Condrieu at $32.10 a bottle resto cost. Mix of premier cru Chablis and Pernand-Vergelesses bod at this point. Believe the artist formerly known as Prince tossed up a track that fairly encapsulated this wine…Sexy MF. Picked up the last four cases of this to pour by the glass via Coravin likely starting around Thanksgiving. And it would go well with a ton of that holiday grubadubdub. Twould be great if posters could actually spell Viognier correctly. Probs asking for the bleeping moon here. 9.16.25. — 8 months ago

The Octavius Barossa Old Vine Shiraz 2009

This wine has aged like a queen! Balanced, matured dark red fruit, spices intermingle to deliver an excellent wine. There is fresh fruit that is unexpected and velvety tannins that say enjoy!! I would say this wine is at its peak. Fruit is still there and tannins and acidity are well balanced. Enjoy!!! — 2 months ago
