Scott brought the last glass of this home for me from work. WOW. Can't believe how vibrant and lovely it is. Beautiful pungent floral aromatics, electric palate. Every time I think I've drunk my way through all of old California, something else super cool pops up. — 8 years ago

I have such a soft spot for Australian Riesling, they tend to go from zero to petrol with great speed. This was especially tasty and quite fresh for its age. — 8 years ago

While still very pleasant, I can't help but feel that the wine is advancing far too fast. A previous bottle tasted 6 months ago was much the same. Maybe I'm paranoid, but... — 8 years ago

My first Australian Barbera did not disappoint. Bright and juicy and totally fun, with a little bit of bottle age to smooth out the edges. Yum. — 9 years ago
