Today is the 1st September, 2010 and there is a definite Spring in the air and that little blue bird will certainly have to get out and take note today. Yes, I am referring to the Twitter Bird. I am looking forward to the outcome of today, not only because I get to see the [...]

A very gluggable offering from this Clare Valley winery perhaps more known for their crisp Rieslings than their Cabernet Merlot. But this plush spicy plum, juicy blackberry and chocolate wine will soon become a staple in your wine repertoire. While it has backbone and structure, it is made to be smooth and easy to [...] The Sidetrack is a McLaren Vale blend of 60% Shiraz, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Grenache. It is redolent in it’s very ripe juicy berries, jammy plums and earthiness. There is no doubt that this is a big red, and certainly will be a winter warmer but it carries its might elegantly. Why not try [...] The Jaraman range is produced from a combination of fruit from two regions. This Cabernet has 64% Clare fruit topped up by fruit from Australia’s classic region for Cab Sauv – Coonawarra. This combination gives a rich ripeness with just a hint of minty character coming from the Coonawarra fruit. The result is a gorgeous [...] The Stags Leap Winery is often confused with Stags Leap Wine Cellars but nothing is confusing about this elegant wine. It is fuller bodied for a Cabernet, finely textured and rich with complexity and style. It is composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc (for that fragrance) & 1% Merlot. Densely coloured, with fragrant [...] The Seventy Six is a winemaking tribute to the 1976 vintage, the first vintage of Koonunga Hill complete with retro label. It is heartening to see that some of the old Penfolds magic is flowing back to the brand’s sub $20 tiers. Tasting the Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 2008 side by side with this version [...] If you are after a pleasant mid week quaffer which has the softness to truly qualify as an easy drinker, this is your wine. The wine has abundant sweet smoky oak and ripe plummy blackfruit character. It would be a great match for bangers & mash with loads of caramelled onions. A perfect wine for [...] Taylors have had a lot of press lately with their award winning wines and they have earned it. They offer consistently tasty wines at all price points and this wine is no exception to this rule. Fresh and fruity to be sure, but with a structure that lifts it above its competition. It has the [...] This is a wine that brings to mind Roast Beef & Yorkshire Puds. Being a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (14%), Cabernet Franc (12%), Malbec (5%) & Shiraz (5%) nothing about this wine is straight forward except that it is rather tasty and that immediately you taste it you think of food. Even the Cabernet [...] |
