Very nice red blend for the finger lakes. This particular winery specializes only in red wines. Very nice atmosphere and they are wonderful hosts that are really knowledgeable. Winetasting would think you’re drinking California reds — 4 years ago
Funny story about this wine. Was submerged in water for a few days, but the water temp was 54F. Wax capsule was pink, not red. Popped and the cork shattered. But after a decant. Here came the legend. Awesome fruit, dried herbs, balanced acidity. Last one I had...for now. Stay thirsty my friends. 🍷 — 6 years ago
Refreshing & enjoyably min Saturday night with Rafael! — 2 years ago
A solid rich Ruby red with no tawny rim. Looks way younger than 27 years. An earthy, plummy leathery perfume with same earthy, plummy and minerally medium to full bodied palate - a sweaty saddle classic old Hunter Valley style. Medium plus intensity of flavour with great persistence. Demonstrates the amazing longevity of old vine Hunter Valley Shiraz. I think you could safely drink this into the late 2020s. Honouring the Hunter Valley legend, Maurice O’Shea, who made great wine in primitive conditions In the late 1940s and 1950’s. About 15 years ago I had a 1952 Mount Pleasant Shiraz made by the great man - just medium bodied and still full of energy. — 4 years ago

The wine is magnificent. Smells like a peach orchard. The fruit, the trees The flowers all of it. Also get pleasant but subtle notes of vanilla, citrus, ocean, and cardamom. Flavor is fresh, slightly under ripe peach (basically no sweetness), lemongrass and vanilla. Medium body but so well balanced by a refreshing acidity that matches seafood so well. I could smell this wine all day and never grow tired of it. — 4 months ago
