qmckenna's Review:

exotic special minerals on nose. dry slight lack of acidity only minus--excellent

qmckenna's Review:

very aromatic and yet still tightly focused. sour cherry wafts on a cloud of alcohol with perfectly integrated oak. deserves to be sought and enjoyed

qmckenna's Review:

wow--explosive clove, raspberry and strawberry wrapped up in a package equally dedicated to intensity and delicacy

qmckenna's Review:

at or close to full maturity-clove and spice along with sour milk and barnyard funk. Pleasant, rich, intense PN fruit with a softening structure

qmckenna's Review:

deep red color, hearty dark fruit and smokey oak nose, medium long smooth finish.

qmckenna's Review:

pale straw color. Toasted oak nose, spicy, sour milk & yogurt. Long spicy finish. Much more serious structure than the regular bottling. 18.99

qmckenna's Review:

medium light body, pale color,clean grapefruit and pineapple nose, medium finish. Great reliable choice. 12.99 retail

qmckenna's Review:

very deep color, opaque dark purple, nose features bacon, smoke, leather, tar, oak and alcohol, soft tannin, solid and serious in the mouth with medium+ body long finish. A serious wine that deserve to be enjoyed with food--not a party gulp. Reminiscent of a northern Rhone rather than an Aussie.

qmckenna's Review:

deep red color, bramble fruit with a hint of black pepper and balanced oak, medium-plus body with bright fruit and acidity to balance, mellow tannins and a long finish

qmckenna's Review:

deep red color, grapey, oakey nose with a little cola. generous in the mouth with a medium length finish with moderate tannins
