Edina Country Club Tasted Monday, June 29, 2015 by 3daywinereview.com with 288 views
Another great event at the club and no corked bottles again since our group is pros and we preview.
Nice showing with pineapple, minerals, spice and subtle oak. Very pleasant and not over the top. Drink now.

Young and should revisit in 4 years. Chalk, minerals, honey dew melon, and lemon. Short to medium finish.
Candied fruit, Carmel, spice, and orange peel. Short to medium finish. Just did not live up to the rest of the wines.
Bit ripe with spice, toasted, oak and vanilla. A medium finish but a little bitter. Drink now.
Intense wine with lemon, oak, spices and tones. Buttery finish and medium to long. Drink now to 2018.
Clear wine of the night and the most interesting and complex with minerals, citrus, oak and fruits. Medium to long finish and balanced. Drink now to 2018.
Lemon, spices and minerals. Elegant wine and should be consumed in the next few years.
Nice wine with honey, apples, spices and good acidity. Always enjoy the Leeuwin wines. Drink now to 2019.

Outstanding effort with honey, apricots, minerals and ripe fruits. Concentrated with a long finish but plenty of acidity to balance it out. Wow!
