The last of the 2002 in mags brought from the property. Delicious. I would have thought these would have been saved for their member parties. So, a nice surprise.

@Ron R it’s a good event even worth the effort to travel from the other coast. Cheers! 🍷

Sadly let this sit too long. Overly aged but not terrible. Definitely reason notes and fuller body. Would be interested to try again and drink younger… — 3 months ago

Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, dark cherry, chocolate, coffee. On the palate, lots of berries, chocolate, oak, vanilla, warm spices, strong tannins. Full body. Medium finish. — 6 months ago

Barossa Shiraz 2021

A special project wine for the US and China marketplace. This is a 100% Shiraz with a medium-bodied style, ripe and very generous with plenty full flavors of mulberry, ripe blackberry, mocha and hints of blackforrest chocolate cake. It has a noticeable freshness on the palate which and a smooth cocoa powder finish, quite appealing to those who are looking for ready to go Shiraz from Australia. — a month ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

21 años y muy vivo, elegante, post gusto super persistente un clásico de Joseph Phelps. En la nariz tipica de cabernet de ellos, un toque leve de menta, fruta roja, suelo. El postgusto fue poniéndose mas intenso mientras iba abriendo... Vino sin defectos, bien hecho. — a month ago
