Bought this over the holidays to confuse family members who often drink Cali Cabernet. It did the job: there were ZERO guesses of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is precisely why I like this Margaret River expression. Yes, it's definitely oaked, but the higher acidity and brighter fruit notes make this a winner that's easy to drink. Added plus: very little in the Juniper + bell pepper department.

I didn’t take notes but I was not impressed with this. Was very underwhelming for a WS Top 100. Thought it was overrated.

Final wine club before the birth of Baby V 😎
This was brought by my buddy’s wife because she wanted something that was totally foreign to her; something that would throw a kink in our usual tasting habits. Loads of eucalyptus/menthol and leather. This was a fun wine to try.

Dark cherry, plum, raspberry with a stewed fruit quality on the nose. Eucalyptus, green olive, oak, leather and vanilla notes.
