Not good news for me then!
Does anyone know if you get a "sorry but nothing this year" response from them at all?
And for those that have some from back vintages, I'm hearing directly from Wendouree that the 2010, 2011, and 2012 are drinking well now and were not necessarily designed to cellar for many decades as some of the previous vintages were.
Can I say I have been getting Wendouree for around 5 years now and they are sensational, I have been drinking them for years by virtue of my fiances father and they do get better, but there style has changes quite a bit.
The blends are my preference and just a quick tasting note for this year I had the 2013 Cabernet Malbec 2 nights ago and it is as good as any young wine I have ever tasted, that is including 100 point Bordeauxs, Grange, Hill Of Grace.
2011 is a drink now vintage 2012 is a keeper and 2013 i was told is more like 2011 but a lot bigger wine, just the elegance of the 2013 was beautiful and it backs up the saying "iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove"
I would love to hear what others think of the new vintage.
Welcome Simon, great first post.
As for tasting notes, I'll let let you know in a decade.
If you have a few trust me they are worth a try at this stage, i would leave the straight Cab and straight Shiraz alone but the blends are very approachable, the whole stigma of they need a lot of time is not as much the case anymore.

Would be interested in hearing other peoples comments on any young Wendouree wines they have had.
2011 is a drink now vintage
Was crying out to be cellared for 10 or probably 20 years.
Oh right a certain A P BIRKS WENDOUREE appeared on my card statement. No idea what I've bought

I bought a bottle of their 1997 shiraz, should I drink it soon-ish before it falls off the aging cliff?
