One more Zin. Because Delectable gave me a check mark and I’m worth it. I’d never tried Grgich before but I’m digging it. It has that delightful thing Zins do where they feel light at first then morph into a gentle ninja dressed in velvet and throwing raisins and craisins at you. CraiZins? This is a plush sneaky Zin. The more I let it breathe the more bramble there is. So now you and a velvet-clad ninja are doing battle in a brambly wood. Though the finish is rather speedy. Ninja retreating? Ps you are the winner. Cause you’re drinking wine. — 7 years ago

Lemon smoke, pith and zested peel, green beans, wax bean, lime, pestelled chive, chunky seltzer. Speedy and clean palate shows lime and lemon citrus, underripe green pear, lime pith, chalky pink grapefruit, salinity, orchid stem. Great wine with plunging depth, spritely while well defined and deftly crafted. A joy.

Plum Apricot- stone fruit on the nose. Pear on the palate with ripe lingering note. Peach hints. Not sweet but delicate. Toasting the return of power after Florence. I’m not truthful about location. Verandas had chimney fall through two floors so I’m roasting their and my leaking Visctorian’s speedy recovery and those still without power to chill. This is a NC wine so supporting local as farms are underwater close by. Sad song plays on lingering breeze. Chain saws fell mighty oaks. This glass and more are needed to remember- and raise- to stay strong! — 6 years ago

OVERVIEW GRAPE VARIETY VINEYARD REGION WINE ANALYSIS MATURATION VINTAGE CONDITIONS COLOUR NOSE PALATE PEAK DRINKING LAST TASTED Bin 2 was first released in 1960, yet was discontinued in Australia in the 1970s at the height of the white wine boom. The original Bin 2 was an ‘Australian Burgundy’ style (despite its Rhône varieties) – typically a soft, medium-bodied wine based on Shiraz. The Bin 2 blend of Shiraz and Mourvèdre is still relatively uncommon in Australian table wines. Also known as Mataro or Monastrell, Mourvèdre was introduced to Australia in the 1830s. Sometimes used in fortified wine production, this grape is widely planted in the Barossa Valley. It is greatly valued by winemakers for its blending attributes, adding complexity and palate grip. Interest in Bin 2 has grown as the popularity of traditional Rhône varieties and blends continues to flourish. 89% Shiraz 11% Mourvèdre Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Padthaway Alc/Vol: 14.5%, Acidity: 6.2 g/L, pH: 3.64 10 months in seasoned French and American oak Winter rainfall was lower than the long-term average for most parts of South Australia. Variable conditions continued through the period from October to December, merging to a mild summer, with a few short periods of heat. The mild daytime temperatures and cool evenings across most of the ripening period, allowed for impressive flavour development, without inflated baumés. Balanced canopies matched fruit load, providing even yet not too speedy ripening. Warm dry conditions continued throughout harvest with fruit picked in optimal condition. Smaller berry and bunch sizes were noticeable in most regions and this, coupled with favourable weather conditions, saw great results for some quality markers – colour, tannin profile, fruit concentration and flavour depth. Deep plum red Inviting. Lifted aromatics hovering above – sweet yeast bun, fresh liquorice. Red curranted fruits, sour cherry, fresh quince... A ‘trifled’ vinous chromatogram – jelly/custard/coconut! Expansive (for a Bin 2!). Only a fleeting suggestion of background oak. Tea-leaf/talc tannins... fathered by Shiraz or Mourvèdre?! Savoury and charcuterie flavours charmingly mesh with those reminiscent of Jamaican raisined dark chocolate. Now – 2020 November 2013
