VM mixed up their show results, it was the Melbourne Show not Sydney http://rasv.com.au/Events/RMWS_Home/RMWS_Results/RMWS_Trophy-Winners/RMWA_2015_TrophyBooklet

I don't think they've worked it out yet, no response to my query.

This one? coughfighter's Ghost Reserve - coughfigher's Ghost

Yes, confirmed with VM by one of my members.

VM have now updated the description. Looks like coughfighters Ghost Reserve - full credit to redbigot

Yes, clue in the blurb was "Based in NSW,"

Yes I noticed that. I love a Coonawarra cab but not really sold on that one...

Once a fighter, always a fighter but once a c....once a cabernet fan, always a cabernet fan.

I’m still enjoying my Great VinoMofo Experiment, as I call it. I was a late-comer to the party, only discovering the Fo in the latter half of 2015, so I missed many of the great offers many here are lamenting.

Ditto! But better late than never - I'm much more careful with the >$20 VM offers - those RRP +/-$50 wines can really strike some gold. More careless with VM's <$10 offerings and have found some really nice gems: Jack Estate Shiraz; Mt Avoca Back Block Shiraz (mouthful of delicious after 24 hours!); the Maverick Twins and the Capel Vales etc.

In any case, for a very novice wine drinker and new collector like me, this thread is indispensable with your varied postings!

Does that mean you like this particular wine?

I'm always a bit leery of really young cabernet. I suppose some of it may be good, but in general it's the type of grape that needs years to mellow out...

I've got some 2010 Brand's Laira cab that I'm itching to try, to see if I should buy more.

Also noticed a Norfolk Rise Shiraz today and after reading Delectable's comments, I can mention that I purchases a few cases of the 2008 Norfolk shirazes from Grays some 2 years ago. Very very nice wine folks, and don't let the normal $18 retail make you think it's too cheap. Early twenties would not be unfair. The cooler climate styles NATURALLY have more acidity and need more airing/decanting but I think their fruit is a little more pristine and elegant, provided the winemaker knows how to do it properly. Having just typed this during an interlude between discussing sildenafil and citalopram, where you don't give a Freddy if you dont get a Freddy, my oranges have just been delivered. Maybe I think outside the circle sometimes, but this cab sav will be sampled this weekend, and being from cooler new south Wales, and having an embarrassment of regalia, I will be very keen. Keener than a senile sildenafil subdued septogenerian named Hugh......no there' no bunny.

never tried it.......but I'm a lover not a fighter....

sildenafil and citalopram

Forget the sildenafil, where's my bloody pizotifen. Two months now I've been waiting, I'm in pain!!!

Long time reader, First time poster.

Would like to thank you all for your help and contributions thus far with all things Vinomofo related.

Been waiting for the Arturo Shiraz to come around again. Could this possibly be it?

It was RRP$35 and 5 star halliday winery but was more fruitier in the description from memory

 

[Timbo71]

Yes Thanks for working this one out, think I will give this one a miss as well, not really sold on it.

 

[beefarmer]

Yep............new Arturo....now what extra grape is in it that's not mentioned???

 

[AnonymousCoward]

Tried the Maverick Cabernet blend last night. I thought it went well with pizza from the local Italian place. It's a bit fruiter than a normal straight cabernet, and easy drinking right now (and I guess the next few years). Well worth the $9/bottle it cost, if looking for something to drink now.

Does anyone know what this may be? I'm not so good at researching this stuff but I thought it might be Paxton Jones Block?

I thought we decided that one was Mule.
