Fort Ross - Seaview Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2018

9.3

2018 vintage. Impressively smooth. Medium body. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes. Good length of finish and smooth throughout the palate push. Consistent style and producer. Personally want more tannins/dirt/earth but this isn’t playing that game. Verry nice for the game it is playing. 11.8.24. — 8 days ago

Not sure who told me about these guys but agree it’s been good.

@Norman Gennaro Not super extracted like a Marcassin but exactly zero speedbumps.

Mid yellow in colour. Musky notes with a little talc - white and yellow flowers. On the palate lovely ripe peach flavours. Incredible flavour intensity. Irresistible. Low acid. Definitely one of Australia’s best dry Rieslings. No notes of TDN. Have the last one in a year or two. See previous Delectable note 6 years ago in June 2018 when it was carrying more citric acid. — a month ago

Available in the US Ron?

@Bob McDonald, yes it is. Gaia isn’t tho. It’s a real shame because there’s been a pull-back on Aussie wines in the U.S. Over 20 years ago, the market was flooded with Aussie wines, many sub par. Now Aussie wines occupy a small space on the shelves over here.

Pritchard Hill Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

9.2

1 hour decant(decent fine /cloudy sediment). A striking dark garnet with some bricking. On the nose: subdued notes of dark fruit, currants, herbaceous, forest floor, worn leather, coffee grounds, slight menthol. Taste: smooth, slightly creamy, mouthcoating wine with black fruit, cedar, minerals, dark chocolate, earth, and a spiced graphite long finish with just a touch of heat. YUM! — 13 days ago
