Price, alcohol and descriptors all fit. Grapes come from Waikerie. Poor form.

Swervyn.......I too was enticed by the thistledown and waited three days to buy it. I chased up some information from Adelaide about this new crowd, and basically liked what I heard from the other end. The person I was talking to has been in the wine game for over 30 years and she mentioned that the winemaker involved here is top notch. Top notch was a good start for me, but I also delved further and received some other positive news. All this mucking around for a fourteen bucker you ask? I do the same research for a one dollar twenty two Bianco D'allesano that won a trophy and picked up stacks of cases. Everybody I know who has tasted it loves it. Back to the Two Roads, I have to say it has the most ridiculous wording on the back about coming to a road junction and picking another path. Such bulltish I have not read for a long time, howeverrrrrrr I don't care so long as it tastes good. I passed on a bot to a work friend and he came back wanting more. That's a very good start for me. From my perspective, I want the wine to taste like a premium wine with the fruit being these guys forte, food accompaniment being essential as they pick them a little earlier(from the horses mouth that one) but complexity is the key here. I do hope I enjoy mine but it has been a little too hot lately.

Nice to hear it's potentially going to be very good - I did read back of bottle & thought it was ridiculous also! The guys involved have certainly got some good credentials ... so hoping for good things!!

Seriously addicted to VM - have managed to get some gems in the past, my best so far in black market/secert deals have been :
Amelia Park 2011 Cabernet for around $15
Bethany2005 GR10 Reserve Shiraz for $35 - was sensational!!

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals

Beechworth Pinot Secret Deal could be brokenwood IV-MV6. I haven't undertaken a lot of research but price and alcohol seem right (and I think there have been Brokenwood wines listed before. Someone may be able to confirm other stats (would assume they are a 5 star producer which seems pretty standard for JH. Has anyone tried this before?

Also any ideas on the Coonawarra Cab Sav - Selling Crazy Fast but often see that when a wine first goes on sale.

I think it could be this

Penley Estate Steyning Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals

Looks like the BM Pinot Noir 2013 $55 down to $22 is the Brokenwood Indigo Vineyard Beechworth Pinot Noir. Matched up with Halliday and I can't see anything else "Beechworth" that it could be. I know that the 2012 was on a BM recently as well, so going by the fact VM like to stick with vineyards this makes sense as well.

2013 was meant to be a much better year for the region and tasting notes suggest a more "pinot-ish" and better wine.

Anyway tried this? I'm looking for a Pinot Noir around $20 to get in time for Xmas.

Edited - Looks like you beat me to the punch and I think you're right EdNoon.

Thanks AnonymousCoward - The Cab Sauv is the 2012 version, the stats you have are for the 2010 (except JH gave the 2010, 95). Agreed though, I think the same wine just the newest vintage at a slightly higher price.

IV-MV6 usually has a higher RRP than $55...I would be surprised if Brokenwood has reduced it for the 2013

Ooh - thanks for pointing that out - didn't realise that it was 2012 - just assumed it was the 2010 again. Hmm - to buy or not?

Sorry I was confused thinking the IV-MV6 and the Brokenwood Indigo Vineyard Beechworth Pinot Noir were the same. Do you think a good buy/drink if it's that?

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals

They're different:
2012 IV-MV6 Pinot Noir - Brokenwood Wines - $75
vs.
Indigo Vineyard Pinot Noir - Brokenwood Wines - $55

Not sure if it's worth buying - I didn't get onto this deal, but there was some discussion about it back from post #6833 onwards. I think the consensus was that Beechworth isn't one of the main Pinot regions, and there's options for Pinot from the major regions for similar price. That said, Brokenwood's got a good name, so I doubt it would be bad.

All makes sense now thanks. I see the point regarding the region. I must admit I'd never heard of a Beechworth Pinot before seeing this one.

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals

The big gun for pinot in Beechworth is Giaconda. Their prices reflect the quality of their wines however!
