Community Tasting Note

Redback Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 3, 2016 - Some years ago I was at the Clonakilla cellar door and was speaking to Bryan Martin about the drinking windows for the SV and he mentioned that for him, they started to drink well some 8 years from vintage. With this in mind, I decided to open a bottle last night. Half hour decant with minimal sediment. Hint of apricot on the nose, a product of the viognier co-fermented with the shiraz, all estate grown. Medium bodied with fine tannins. Full savoury, earth flavours with a touch of strawberry. Almost like a pumped up pinot. An excellent wine representing great drinking now but with more interest i am sure for the future. i look forward to my next bottle in a year or two.
