Netley Road Vineyard Riesling 2013

2013 is my daughter's birth year and tonight, to celebrate the end of the summer season, I wanted to pop something cool and tasty. This frankland Estate Single vineyard Riesling from more than 10 years ago is something special. The nose is petroly at first, but shows white fruit notes like pear and peach and some zesty notes too. This has seen some oak too, it seems, as there is a tiny vanilla note lurking in the back and showing as well in the finish. The palate shows a great acid drive, some nice peary and zesty notes all along, some width, some nice, chalky mouuthfeel that changes in the back to leave almost a tannic, drying layer, before a great, long, fresh and complex finish made of pear, lemon zest, that drying layer, that vanilla note and a bit of thzt zing which makes great riesling awesome. Wow, what a ride! — 3 months ago

Love the flavour. Could do with couple more years to develop just a slightly smoother finish on palette. — 3 years ago

Australian Chardonnay 2022

Medium-ripe apple and pear aromas nicely framed by some oak, great balance, great depth, really a beautiful Aussie Chardonnay from the Franklin River subregion of the Great Southern. — a year ago

Jack Mann Western Australia Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Initial impressions were mint, capsicum and herbs. Savoury winning out over fruit. More red currant rather than black currant Barb thought. Expected a little more mid palate fruit which is one of the reasons that Margaret River Cabernet is more complete than the cooler climate Frankland River (south east of Margaret River) where this is the product of a single vineyard. Don’t get me wrong this is still a wonderful Cabernet which honours the amazing contribution of Jack Mann who made wine for Houghtons for 51 consecutive vintages. — 3 years ago

Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Really liked this one. All the things you’d want from a Cabernet from the region mix of berry and mint and currant flavours on the palate but the nose offers more. Really enjoyable and fabulous value. — 3 years ago
