Just received it last Friday and haven't try it yet.Your thoughts on the wine?
Hi, just joined the forum after lurking for a few weeks. I've found the discussion very interesting and, as a longstanding VinoMofo customer, very useful. I'm interested to see there is a developing sense of, what's the right word, cynicism or scepticism, about VM as the business has got bigger. Certainly, I've been less impulsive on the Buy button in recent months and it's been a while since I've been able to buy outstanding wines such as the Xanadu cab sav at a bargain price.
Speaking of cab sav, WineStar today has one of its mystery specials - a Yarra Valley 2013 (95 points from Halliday).
Mystery Yarra Valley Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
The only review that fitted the description on Winefront was a 90-point Yering Station Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
In addition to red wine, I'm a keen riesling drinker. Does anyone who the identity of the Clare Valley Black Market Riesling 2015?
Many thanks
The riesling is identified in post #9668
The cab Sauv isn't Yering Station
Many thanks.

I'm not certain but the Cabernet looks like it might be this. Sticks Yarra Valley Vineyard Select Sticks Estate A1 Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 | Australian Wine Companion
AFF has an ability to 'multi-quote'. That is, you can select a number of posts to quote in the one reply.Too true (hate their threesomes of two pretty ordinary wines to get a knockdown on the one bottle you really want!) Be interested to hear what you think of the Little Berries and the Ulithorne (I could tell you what I think of them but curious to get another point of view)...

Not feeling overly sensitive here but I am unsure whether this is in direct response to my own lack of multi-quote posting Jessica?
Not having a go, just used your posts as a reminder to all.Not feeling overly sensitive here but I am unsure whether this is in direct response to my own lack of multi-quote posting Jessica?

I did a search but it seems nothing came up...

I am in serious need of a top up in the quaffers, and something in the sub $10 mark. I grabbed a Glenlofty the other day, but thought this might fit that bill too. Do we know what it is?
I am in the same boat. "North eastern corner of the Clare township". Bit misleading because Clare township is at the top of the Clare Valley and there aint much to the north east of it. They've had Atlas before and I thought that was what the 2014 Clare Shiraz at $9 was also. Winemaker works (used to?) for Reilly's off to the east of the valley at Mintaro. Not sure where Erin Eyes sits on the map.
Both Atlas and Erin Eyes are Halliday 5 Star wineries, so I don't think it's either of those two.
I'm trying to run through who it could be, and without the advertisement of any rating for the winery I guess discounts most of the big players like Taylors, Knappstein, Kilikanoon...might need a phone call tomorrow prior to purchasing.
