Savaterre

Savaterre

Shiraz 2016

Cool climate character; more Northern Rhone than Australia. As with all Savaterre, this is built to age but all the elements are there. Quite green/stemmy, but enough dark berry fruit, rosemary, and spice to give balance. Better in 5 yrs but wanted to like this more. — 3 years ago

Cobaw Ridge

Macedon Ranges Chardonnay 2013

Light golden colour. Subdued oak, floral nose. Strong lemon, vanilla, and mineral flavours. Powerful with lots of structure; vanilla notes on the aftertaste. Still not cohesive but it will age well. A baby Savaterre. Not great for the px. — 8 years ago

Savaterre

Pinot Noir 2012

Sour cherries, and plumb, with a spicy character. Very good structure. Not super long but decent splash of tannin and acid would allow to age. — 5 years ago

Savaterre

Chardonnay

Really impressive Aussie Chard from Victoria.....tons of slate and mineral but also rounded and has nice hints of grapefruit. Not flabby but not steely minerality. Nice wine from a region I know nothing about but was strong recommendation from some winos here. I feel like a real CHARLIE for not trying this before. A real TREAT after a LONG day in the PRICKly sun without any Nivea — 5 years ago

YOUR review seems a bit SHORT. Is this somehow directed at uncle JIMMY?
