Pretty sure the mof_ Secret Deal Chardonnay 2015 is the Fox Gordon The Empress. Any thoughts on this wine?

seem to recall beefarmer was a big fan..

Speak of the devil...ste667 had me looking through my tasting notes, and getting to the Empress I passed...the FG savvy 2013 - great, then FG Bros and Sis 2014 Cab - obviously better, FG Tempranillo 2013 - beautiful then laat year in November, the FG Empress 2014 vintage..not the 2015. Not too much written except 'finesse, hints of oak, simply a beautifully made chardonnay. Yep, I was very impressed. Also I had a FG Cab/Tempranillo 2010 a bit earlier and that was enjoyable. So luckily I have not had one FG I didn't like.

Thanks beefarmer, good to know, because I took the plunge and ordered a case. Hope it lives up to expectations!

Looks like Hannah was back on the Swing in 2013 also - time travel?

 

[J-P]

Is the 2013 worth buying? I saw all the rave reviews about Hannah's Swing previously but believe it was a different vintage.

Disclaimer: I have way too much wine at the moment and have no space, so I'm setting a high bar, but still tempted to buy

So if they have more hannah, perhaps more brother and sisters isn't far away....might be wishful thinking, still kicking myself for missing out!!!

 

[Peter78]

I'm hoping for the same, also disappointed to have missed out on the brothers and sisters. There is a note on my account to contact me should it come back in (also for the Hungerford Hills Gundagai Shiraz that received rave reviews here) so hopefully, I can get my hands on some. Once it does come back in, I will post here so others can also call them up for their orders - if it comes back!

Try Innocent Bystander Known Pleasures.

 

[Bonzai]

I would be guessing Innocent Bystander Known Pleasures........they've had some of their wine through recently.

 

[redbigot]

I think so too.

Maybe clearing some stock as part of the buy-out by Brown Brothers.

 

[tiger8888]

My bad.. Thanks everyone!

No doubt. I like their Yarra Valley Syrah, a good value and well made wine.
Does anyone have any recommendations for things to look out for from these guys? VM have some of their Giant Steps range but I've never tried them and doesn't offer much of a reduction.
