The G really shines through over the S and M. S and M... 🤔 I was looking for a burger wine and this offering from McLaren Vale delivered. Really great.

Who needs TEA for One when you can have GSM for One?

Been breaking out some fun wines deep from the cellar to keep spirits HIGH during the stay at home Cali mandate. Day 10 is no exception......time for dinosaur steaks and a 2009 Bryant Family!!

Decanted 1 hour. An arresting deep dark garnet color(lots of cloudy sediment). On the nose: caught me completely off guard with stewed meat, black olives, band aids, some licorice, red berries, and floral. Taste: Wow, this is singing "Stairway to Heaven " ....no garage band version, this is Led Zeppelin 1970s!! Dark cherries, chocolate, espresso, tobacco.
A Mark Aubert beauty with fine, silky tannins coating the mouth. An elegant, rich, soft wine with a long toffee/blueberry finish — 5 years ago

2019 vintage. Acidity/tannins evident and über-present from start to finish. Tasted through the first few vintages in the early ‘90’s but haven’t come across this producer since early 2000’s. Stylistically, (thankfully) still the same. Plenty of earthiness, grip and punch evident with sustained, old Zeppelin feedback on the finish. Really nice. 05.07.25. — 4 months ago
