1 hour decant (decent sediment). A splendid inky purplish garnet color. On the nose: notes of black and blue fruit, forest floor, truffles, mint, pencil shavings, black olives. Taste: blackberry/plum, cocoa, cedar, minerals, and a spiced oaky/graphite medium plus slightly astringent finish with some still there kicken tannins. — a month ago

I took the photo outside, and it’s very warm, thus the condensation on the glass. But I quickly brought it inside. Deep, saturated color, youthful still. Nose is gorgeous, with deep cassis, dark minerally gravel, a bit of high-quality oak treatment. Intense and rich in the mouth, but more in a lean and clingy sense than in a fat fruit bomb way, thankfully. Tannins are prominently there, particularly in the tail end of the finish, where they cling to the side of the mouth, but they’re balanced with the richness of the wine. Finish is very long. Terrific wine. Will age (and likely improve) several more years. — a month ago
Pure Silk! Subtle fruit! Hints of chocolate, cherry, plums. Notes of old leather and tobacco. I would love to say enjoyed with an aged prime rib, but have to admit was enjoyed with our last quart of chile we made in Dec. I could drink this with a PBJ sandwich. Really don’t think it’s hit it peak yet! — a month ago
Cherry and berry nose. Fruit forward with a distinctive spice. Tannins and acidity have mellowed. Easily my favorite. Easy to drink. Drank this 2009 in 2026. Probably my favorite vintage. I save it for special occasions, but it’s time to drink it. Bottom of the cork was getting crumbly. — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90min. The 2024 “White Hill” pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with bright notes of star fruit, passion fruit, stone fruits, lemons, a touch of freshly struck matchstick, some white flowers and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and slightly saline. I love the character of these wines. Really tasty stuff. Drink now through 2034+. — 4 months ago

A spectacular, powerful wine. Fabulous bouquet. Dark cherries, black raspberries, and dark chocolate. Silky smooth with a satisfyingly long finish. Still has lots of cellaring potential, but pretty fabulous now. — 12 days ago
From magnum. Partially poured into a decanter and enjoyed over the course of a couple days. Best on Day 2. The 2015 Pritchard Hill pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and richly fruited with powerful, heady notes of cassis, blackberries, plum, purple flowers, tobacco, cocoa, some star anise and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is luxurious. Classic Pritchard Hill character and surely a candidate for top vineyard status if the US were to ever adopt a classification status. There’s a long future here, especially in this larger format. Drink now with patience through 2055. — a month ago


Dry-Farmed, a bit of Cabernet Franc in mix, aged 20 months in mostly neutral French oak barrels. Dark Ruby red color with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and floral spice. On the palate flavors of ripe black cherry, raspberry and cassis with espresso, cinnamon and earthy spice notes. Nice balance, lively acidity, fine tannins, long ending with fruit, cacao and tobacco spice! Nice! — 2 months ago

Fresh and pristine even at 10 years of age. Arguably Australia’s best Riesling - certainly in the top 3. Aromatics of lime juice with a tiny hint of TDN (paraffin in this case) and a hint of honey. Overall ultra pure with M+ intensity and a touch of peach on the palate. This could be confidentally cellared for another 5 years for added complexity. Dry Riesling doesn’t get much better than this. — 9 days ago
