Very well spotted, and just like Hungerford Hill explains a hell of a lot. With the Fo paying them within 30days, and who knows the Cellarmasters deal, there would be a lot of cash coming the hill-billys way in time for Christmas.Sounds like Maverick are selling up....

We all applaud their wine making talents.
the only major difference between notes and pic is the Bricat vs Castelletto)
And BF I guess it explains the veritable torrent of Maverick wine flooding the market, I would never have picked it from the VM blurb but then I don't drink whites (virtually) so would have missed it anyway, agree with your parting comment too! Maybe I should hang onto the Ahren's Creek shiraz if they're not going to be making any more...
Thank You. i guess the Neb is 2013 ?Delivered earlier this week - it's as per the picture and not the erroneous description:
3 x Castelletto: 2006, 2007 and 2011
1 x Bricat: 2011
2 x Langhe Nebbiolo 2011
Assuming they stack up to the CT etc. reviews, $60 for the Barolos and $30 for the Langhes, seems decent value to me.

Yes, and the cabernet is different this year also. It is a straight cabernet, not a blend. Maybe the 2015 Barossa vintage was so good that no blending was required this year. Based on how good the shiraz was I have high hopes for the cabernet.

This is very probably the most complex $11 wine I’ve ever tasted. This is the blend with the volume dialled up to 11. It’s a very nice wine and in 5-10 years maybe great. A 94 on CT from me.
Would you take this cab sauv '15 over the cab blend '13 if you could only have one? How about this cab sauv '15 vs the shiraz '15?
Mitolo Cantiniere
anyone know what the mof_ deal for Mclarenvale cabernet shiraz 2013 is? https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine...il&utm_term=0_7adb240a07-f7f1948a2e-172899965
I bought that multi lauded and multi medalled Allegiance, and although a reasonable nine bucker, at the price asked way off the mark. Mine was returned as well to My Wine Guy and swapped for a 97pointer Vic chardonnay that I haven't yet tried.I received 3 cases last week, Mitolo Cantiniere cab shiraz, Bittersweet Symphony and Allegiance Cab......The Mitolo was opened last night and was magnificent, thoroughly enjoyed every drop....the other 2 were disappointing and are going back ASAP.
The 2015 Twins Cab Sauv is back up today with free shipping. It's another boom for me.

Thanks for the comparisons. One more I'd like to put to you then - Mav Twins Cab Sauv 2015 or Fox Gordon Bros & Sisters Cab Sauv 2014?
I cracked my first 2015 Twins Cabernet tonight. This was a challenging wine to write a tasting note for. There is so much going on that narrating that experience in a set of liner notes is not quite fair to the wine. Here is my best effort:
This is a straight cabernet, rather than the traditional Twins blend, but it is not left wanting. It is immediately more vibrant, intense and multi-faceted than the blend. Again the quality of the 2015 fruit is undeniable, this is as pure an expression of place as you could wish for. However, unlike the blend, this is less of a drink-now proposition.
There is the obligatory black currant fruit, with a hint of blackberry and light minty overtones rounding out the front-palate. But the real action is in the mid-palate, which is currently a little “large”, and unfortunately slightly unbalanced at this young age. The flavours are dark, occasionally bordering on the sour. I’m getting baking soda/spice, clay dust, pencil lead, dark chocolate and liquorice. Plus a whole lot more that I can’t quite identify. The tannins are ultra-fine but still a little drying. The finish is long and slightly smokey. Wow!
This is very probably the most complex $11 wine I’ve ever tasted. This is the blend with the volume dialled up to 11. It’s a very nice wine and in 5-10 years maybe great. A 94 on CT from me.
It's pretty good, though as usual I wouldn't want to pay "full price". I was a little concerned when I saw it was a deep pink colour & touted itself as strawberries & cream. I feared a confectioned pinot. But blow me down it does taste of strawberries & cream but thankfully no cloying sweetness. I think that's why they added some fiano to the brew to tart it up - it works. The pure Provence is much more restrained & has that lovely lingering after-taste. I don't know how Decanter came to judge it worlds best, but happy enough. It will be a bit warmer tonight in Adelaide, see how they fare.
