4/11/2024 - Ridgerunner Likes this wine: 93 pointsOf their wines, none are bad wines, this one came in 4th after Keltie, Griffin's Lair and Walker Vine Hill. All such great wines, and such a waste they couldn't be a part of the old vine movement. |

2004 Torbreck RunRigBarossa Valley Shiraz Blend, Syrah more |
3/29/2024 - Ridgerunner Likes this wine: 95 pointsI would in fairness note that I was at the same tasting as Salil, and in fact brought this wine to this tasting. Since he isn't taking comments on his post I wanted to add that of the 12 Syrah/Shiraz wines in this tasting being rated and scored by a fairly formidable group that this was in fact rated the #1 wine of the evening (something I didn't realize until this morning when results were published). Everyone has their own taste and Salil veers toward French Syrah with which he is far more familiar. |

2009 Saxum Paderewski VineyardPaso Robles Red Blend more |
3/14/2024 - Ridgerunner Likes this wine: 95 pointsI selected this wine because of the 39% Zinfandel in the blend with 38% Syrah, 13% Petite Sirah, and 10% Mourvèdre believing it would make it more accessible. Absolutely beautiful with about a 2-3 hour decant. Alcohol undetectable, tannins resolved, lush, fruit preserved, wonderful floral and mineral notes with a soft and delicate character. |
