Introduction

standard bun fight...

Flight 1 - Parker Estate (2 Notes)

Surprisingly poor showing from an otherwise good producer...

Flight 2 - Farr Rising (4 Notes)

The Pinot was good...

  • 2012 Farr Rising Saignée

    Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Geelong

    Pale pink with some tears. Medium minus Aromas of generic red fruit, cream soda and slight sweet spice. In the mouth the wine is surprisingly dry and savoury with red fruit notes but that finishes warm, bitter and slightly astringent. Nah.

  • 2011 Farr Rising Chardonnay

    Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Geelong

    Pale lemon green. Aromas of toast, slight apple, touches of stone fruit, slight buttery notes. In the mouth there is some phenolic grip on the front of the mouth with stone fruit, oak, butter and sweet spice. The wine is a bit warm but lacks acidity. good none the less.

  • 2011 Farr Rising Pinot Noir Geelong

    Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Geelong

    Pale ruby, clear with some tears. On the nose the wine has aromas of spice, sulphur, slight red fruit - strawberries, leather, leather and clove and some bacon notes. In the mouth the flavours are tinged with smoke over red fruit, spice and white pepper. the spice carries on the long finish and there is the introduction of a certain stalkiness. Nice but a little disjointed.

  • 2010 Farr Rising Shiraz Geelong

    Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Geelong

    Surprisingly pale purple coloured. Aromas of green and black pepper over black berry and currants. There is also some slight oak spice. More of the same in the mouth - it's nice but the finish is rather short.

  • 2011 Clonakilla Shiraz O'Riada

    Australia, New South Wales, Southern New South Wales, Canberra District

    Purple with some legs. Medium plus aromas of blackberry over black and green peppercorns, leather, sweet tobacco and spice. In the mouth, though, the wine is bitter and astringent, bit rubber, bit nasty, but unpleasant. Nah

    Deep purple. Aromas of bacon, spice, green peppercorn, roses, slight black berry. In the mouth there is medium plus acid, spice, oak, pepper but it is a touch dull and muted at this stage.
