Cream, kirsh and spice. Rather lush, round and polished. Medium acid, good tannin, decent finish. Not inspiring.

So I'm rating this one way up for one simple reason. In my personal and humble opinion no one does a more interesting and better complex wine than Randall Graham in this wine. It will pair with virtually anything and I have never had anyone say anything short of spectacular when I open this up. Compare that to your 100-plus dollar options where you sort of expect it and when it falls short you feel slighted. This won't happen with this wine.

Lots of bottle variation here. After a first review pan, a second bottle tasting was more of what I thought to expect even in this off vintage, will wait for third tasting to make a more informed decision. There was no flatness that I saw in the previous bottle, the flavor profiles were more structured and came together nicely.

Nothing amazing, hoped it would be better on day two, it wasn't.

TCA present on the bottle.
Seems like a well constructed wine, with ripe red fruit, soft tannins and a silky smooth finish
Too bad that the TCA spoiled the full experience

As an aussie expert this wine is a great value at $30 a bottle delivered. Coffee, spice, vanilla, crushed rock and dark fruits. Medium to long finish and concentrated wine. Very young but so delicious that it is hard not to drink now. Should age for a decade.

    9/29/2014 6:20:00 PM - I totally agree. A remarkable value , for such a high quality wine. Wish I'd bought much more, but I took a chance in the 1st place.
    Cheers!

Wow, this wine was really on! Nose of roasted meats, smoke, blue fruit, violets and other floral aromatics.
The palate was very well balanced... Lots of cool blue fruit, silky tannins, roasted flavours and good acidity. Everything was in perfect equilibrium. This was a good mélange between new world and old world style.

First bottle of six. I had expected a floral, Côte Rôtie look-alike style from this wine. But this wine had a more masculine in-your-face kind of attitude with tons of green and red pepper together with roasted meat in the nose. The wine had a meaty profile with mature black fruit and some smoke and I detected no floral notes. The palate was dominated by pepper backed up by warm - albeit not cooked - black fruit and roasted flavours. The wine had not an elegant profile. But it was a very good, powerful, straightforward and peppery one with some underlying complexity. Based on other users' notes, I conclude that this was not a representative bottle. I hope to find a more floral and elegant style in some of my remaining bottles.

Outstanding. Beefy wine with black pepper, minerals, roasted meats and vanilla. Medium plus finish and balanced. These 07s from Clarendon Hills have been some of the best deals I have purchased in a long time.

4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Mike & Cyndi's): Garnet color. Aromas of blue fruit, violets & lavender and blackberry. Massive tannins; flavors of black and blue fruit, caramel too. With air, notes of tar, brown sugar and dill appear- teh dill starts to dominate. Long finish. Guessed Petite.
