Fuzion Winemaker's Selection Mendoza Malbec 2023

Waitrose. Still a bit smooth and easy drinking - not quite enough punch and still not living up to the 2020 vintage. Decent none the less though. — 13 days ago

Jones Family Vineyard

The Sisters Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

First time have this one, nicely aged steak wine.

Winemaker's Notes:

Great ripening weather in the Fall yielded beautifully developed ripe wines in 2005. The Sisters blend has aromas of spice, vanilla, cedar and plumy fruit. Very clean with smoky overtones, the flavors are of black cherry and red currants. Soft mouth feel and lively acidity make for an easy drinking enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon blend.--Heidi Peterson Barrettwinemaker, June 23, 20082005 The SistersWinemaker Notes - This lovely wine is the little sister to our estate Jones Family Cabernet. It is a blend of certain blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Dark garnet in color with aromas of a young Bordeaux. I smell ripe blueberry and cocoa powder and bits of spice and toasted oak. This wine is medium bodied with firm structure that should lend itself well to further aging. The tannins are light and dusty and flavors are of plum and cherry. Nicely balanced.- Heidi P. BarrettWinemaker, Jones Family Vineyards

We actually liked this better than the Cab we had earlier this week from Maryhill. All of their wines are really well made. — 5 years ago

Dalwhinnie

Moonambel Shiraz 2012

Not bad for $30.00 Web notes This iconic estate nestled into a natural amphitheatre 2,000 feet up in Victoria's Pyrenees mountain range produces some of the country's most highly regarded and awarded wines The vineyard was established in 1976 and is the highest and most remote in the Pyrenees region. All the vines are dry farmed and naturally low yielding due to the very poor rocky soils. The elevation of the site means that they experience dramatic diurnal swings in temperature, the cool nights drawing out the growing season and preserving excellent natural acidity in the wines. The slow gradual ripening process results in more complex flavor development and bestows the wines with exceptional longevity. These wines whilst being remarkably good young will be excellent prospects for a decade plus in the cellar. Winemaker's Notes: "Our 33rd vintage of this wine is an intense purple-black colour. The complex bouquet displays raspberry and dark cherry fruit, a savoury black olive note and an exotic graphite element. The weight is medium but the attack is immensely powerful and persistent. Wonderful juicy sweet-sour dark fruit is framed by fine ripe tannins. This is a wine to decant and enjoy now or keep for the long term. — 2 years ago

That price is a steal Paul. Sells for around $90 AUD in Australia.

It was a first time seeing these here in the states, I bought both bottles they had. I’ll save the 2nd one now that I see it’s impossible to find more. I looked but only in Australia now. Its a refined Shiraz not a bruising fruit bomb.

Yes, I am familiar with Dalwhinnie, it is a class act. Central Victoria with spice and pepper. Restrained with an earthy note. Very different to the Barossa and McLaren Vale.

Good and very cherry but not as much as some other younger wines. Not sure if I like this more than the other higher end petite sirahs of theirs. — 4 years ago
