2022 Boat O'Craigo Pinot Noir Black SpurYarra Valley more |
4/4/2024 - BigfootPMH Likes this wine: 90 pointsIdentifiably strawberry on the nose and bramberly on the pallate. This is a delicate (not flimsy wine) but with medium - fruit that lingers for a short time. Structure without perceptible tannins, I assume this will develop further characteristics with a year or 2 more time in the cellar. |

2021 Boat O'Craigo Shiraz SparklingYarra Valley more |
4/6/2023 - BigfootPMH Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis is a refreshing take on a style that is often too sweet and otherwise too bitter/acidic. This is very balanced (sugar and acid), there is no bitterness and it is not sweet. The very fine bubbles are a result of extended maturation in bottle using traditional methods. I am concerned that the very fine bubbles dissipate quickly but the wine is very enjoyable nonetheless. Good value with the 30% discount. |

2020 Boat O'Craigo Cabernet Sauvignon BraveheartYarra Valley more |
4/6/2023 - BigfootPMH Likes this wine: 91 pointsAmazing nose, this is a lighter and finer expression of Cab Sav from the Yarra Valley. Bramberly and supported by chewy tannins, this has the structure to reward cellaring. Bordering on a bargain with the 30% discount. |

2018 Boat O'Craigo Shiraz First Duke ReserveYarra Valley more |
4/1/2023 - BigfootPMH Likes this wine: 91 pointsSuper impressive nose, this is immediately adult identifiable as a cool climate shiraz. Displaying blue fruits (particularly plums), and the wine is medium+ bodied with long legs and evident tannins even after 5yrs since vintage. I would leave this in the cellar for a couple of years to allow the tannins to integrate more fully into the wine. Both the structure and fruit should be sufficient to see this improve with further age. Reasonable value with the 30% discount. |

2008 Boat O'Craigo Pinot Noir "Rob Roy"Yarra Valley more |
8/3/2013 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 90 pointsA cherry dominant nose with some liqueur notes and a vanillin element from the gentle oak. This is definitely a savoury wine, but with some delicate florals in the mix as well. The palette is has some bold texture with ripe tannins and is overall quite soft and rounded. |

2010 Boat O'Craigo Pinot Noir "Rob Roy"Yarra Valley more |
5/8/2012 - Alimcgordon wrote: 87 pointsI'm told 2010 will be a great year for Yarra Valley Pinot Noir. This is a very light Pinot and is soft on the palate. Long finish of blackberry. Very drinkable, but no notes that set it apart. |

2005 Boat O'Craigo Cabernet Sauvignon BraveheartYarra Valley more |
1/30/2009 - Wrighty wrote: 85 pointsThis threw up a lot of sediment and had a fresh, crisp older world nose. Leaf nose; green tobacco, eucalyptus, some mint. Palate is less enjoyable; a little extracted, cloying but also dry tannins. Overall a little unbalanced. |

2008 Boat O'Craigo Sauvignon Blanc Black SpurYarra Valley more |
1/4/2009 - RieslingFanatic wrote: 86 pointsPale yellow in colour with a hint of green. Certainly a different style of wine than those from NZ - hints of citrus, lemongrass and herbs on the nose. A lean palate, with plenty of acid, with a flavour range the same as the nose (grassy herb notes, lemongrass). Well balanced, but not particularly complex. Length is OK though. |
