It’s good Barossa Shiraz with a little something extra for the weekend. Dark fruit, lavender, liquorice, spice and rosemary. Medium bodied, supple and almost juicy, but a bit brooding too, layered with spice and perfumed with sweet herbs. Tannin is well tuned and sits neatly inside the wine with a graphite feel, and the finish is long and shapely with something of a chicory aftertaste.
It’s complex, interesting, and insanely good value.

The mature Gulley View vineyard, on red loamy clay over limestone, historically supplied Leo Buring, maker of countless outstanding Rieslings in the past. The fruit is hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, fermented with a mix of indigenous and inoculated yeast and raised in stainless tanks. Crammed with mouth filling texture, stone fruit and apple notes and waterfall fresh acidity, this wine is not at all typically Clare in style; Col halts the ferment with around 7-8g/l residual sugar to balance the site's searing acidity. Just north of 200 cases of the scintillating 2016; what are you waiting for, people? Breakfast in bed?

Truth is, it’s another pearler. Buy with confidence. It’s a wine of richness and personality. Substance. Red and black berried fruit, woodsmoke, mineral, twigs and herbs. Chocolate, dark, smoky. Tannin is superfine, length is impressive. I opened this on a cold winter’s night, in need of something meaty, something velvety. This served it up in spades, and kept me interested/entertained in the process.
It’s what red wine is all about.

This is a belter of a wine at the price. Hard to think of many at $22 that would cruise at this altitude. It’s assets aren’t in the reserved but dulcet perfume, but in the woosh of faintly chalky, juicy yet toned fruit that characterises the palate. It rushes through the mouth with refreshing appley fruit, yet there’s all sorts of detail in spice and nuts gathering through it. Long, tight, sleek yet mouthwatering,
it’s got all the layers of upper crust fancy wines in a fun-loving package. Brilliant. Rated : 93+ Points Winefront.com.au

It’s a very young and slightly raw wine, and while it’s probably meant to be enjoyed young, I’d either throw it into a decanter for a couple of hours, or pop it in the cellar for another couple of years: it makes a big difference. Anyway, as at now, it’s red fruited and perfumed, showing some sweet aniseed and spice, along with a whiff of new leather. Medium bodied, brightly lit and vibrant, with red cherry and red berry flavours, light chalky tannin, and a long gently sweet finish that’s perfumed and very fine. Remarkable wine for the money. 93+ points Winefront.com.au

Learning about Barolo, the PERFECT place to start! Let me know if you'd like some, but be quick. Won't Last!

Subtle white flower/vanilla bean perfume, fennel, stones, and mixed citrus (including tangerine) leads you in to a wine of immediate appeal and character. It’s lean and kind of bony, but delivers a lovely crunch of citrus, zinging but fine acidity, and a fine talc-like texture, which lends a lovely grip to the wine. Yum. Will cellar surely, I’d imagine."

"I’m putting it out there: this could be the best Pinot Gris in Australia.
It’s rose gold in colour and that’s just the start of the fun. Subtle floral notes, nashi pear, whisper of musk, but the ‘fruitiness’ is dialled back and the ‘vinous’ parts are tuned up. Powdery tannin, and almost savoury to taste, with the cool acidity and pear, along with a peach tea-like refreshment. Perfect from front to back, complex and packed with personality. Hats off. Flat out delicious. This is how you make Pinot Gris."

"Some wines just hit the nail square on.

This is one such wine. It’s both fresh and textural, lively and substantial enough. You taste it and think: yes. It flows where it needs to, gathers where it must, persists when it’s all on the line. There’s quite a deal of fine-grained tannin and yet its dryness never interrupts the argument in favour of the wine’s quality, or its drinkability. It gives light- to medium-bodied red wine a good name."
