Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[maureeng]

Cape Lodge Shiraz from Margaret River is a very nice red. We are on to our third case!

I'm trying this 2010 Cab Sauv from the Fo - still trying to decide what I think of it...

I opened another of these tonight - left it to sit for 2 hours before starting. It's growing on me.

The eight hour red wine beef that went nicely with our cab sav.

Not usually a fan of semi-sweet riesling but this went down surprisingly well at the local Thai.

Had an urge for a pinot. Found this at the local BWS for very reasonable money!

Last night's offerings with JohnM's signature slow-cooked ox-tail:



Brown Hill, E of Margaret River town, moving up onto the laterites, is noted for big reds from a dry-grown vineyard. Stella Bella (or at least one of their vineyards, the old Rosabrook) is nearby but closer to MR with sandier soils.

Both excellent wines. The Bill Bailey was a monster in 2008 (14.8%) but was not hot. The Tempranillo was about the best Australian example I can recall. Excellent body and mouthfeel. Often Australian Tempranillos to me can be a bit thin and weedy and lack character. This one had it in spades.

PJM rated everything F* awesome.... Couldn't disagree with that .

it probably comes from the Meadowbank blocks that they bought a couple of years ago

And again I am snubbed... *sigh* ... This grounding is no fun at all

Off dry wine is perfect for spicy food, such as Thai.

Amisfield is is a very nice winery that does great food as well as great wine (was there for lunch a few months ago).

One day, Uppy, one day...

UITA, did you get your invite?? Mine must have gone missing

PJM rates you that highly - you're being modest again

Surely that should have been black with envy

Don't worry, I'm with you on the envy stakes

Black Saturday - and who can pick the TV show?

Lol probably. I'm pretty happy with our Obsidian shiraz (and I do have a bottle of that black shiraz in my stash)

How is It? I have a bottle of the 2009 waiting to be drunk.

Bring on Black Sabbath?

Actually was thinking red with envy. But envy is good ( in some circumstances like this forum).

Quite drinkable now, tannins still bitter. Needs a a good sleep for 3-4 years.
