Full bodied, off dry, maybe a little light on the nose, expected more aromatic for varietal.

Ok wine, intense fruit, not very nuanced, lack of distinguished notes.

While quite aged, still very good, ripe fruit, very little sediment.

Very good, crisp, mango and apple, just a half a hair's width off dry, some minerality, great value.

Very nice, some crispness and minerality, enjoyable inexpensive wine.

Delicious. Very aromatic, dark berries, graphite, and more; still some tannins, wonderful wine.

Very rich and full, full dose of oak, sweet fruit, buttery, maybe could use a little more acid.

Ok, not great. The 2 varietals seem to fight.
Red
Very nice, benefited from air, medium body, long finish, loads of fruit.
White
Balanced Chardonnay, not to oakey, middle of the road wine, decent, for fair price.
White
Green apple. Lack of aromatics I'd expect with Gewurz. Not sure this made Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer better. Other wise pleasant.
Red
Some intensity, loads of fruit, interesting blend.
White
Fresh and crisp, nice middle ground between New Zealand and Bordeaux Sauvignon Blancs
White
Ok. A little flabby and heavy on the oak.
Red
Medium light weight, nice spice and fruit, balanced and interesting.

Really full bodied, unoaked, the lack of oak did not pair well with the richness.
Red
Not great immediately after the pop of the cork, no fruit, just some astringency, but when. We returned to it 2 hours later, the balance was better, tannins fully resolved, some mile, dark fruit. Pretty good, not fantastic.

Red
Drank with 2015, more youthful, more fruit than the 15, pretty good, maybe not the intensity I expected, dark and ripe.
White
Light bubbles in the glass, crisp and fresh, lots of grapefruit without being overwhelming
Red
very aromatic, fresh and light, red fruit, violet flower notes
Red
Very ripe, perhaps a touch over ripe, perhaps a flawed bottle, resolved tannin, enjoyable.
White
Very solid, inexpensive white

Pretty good, not great, fruit forward, moderate tannin.
Red
Delicious, still feels fresh, wonderfully aromatic
White
Bought this 50% off, disappointing, full bodied, not particularly distinctive or nuanced, would not choose to have again.
White
Crisp fruit, but a little generic, enjoyable but not very distinguishing.
Red
Nose filling aroma loads of blueberry, full body, brambles, jam, and fruit, what a fun mouthful.
Red
2020 Water Wheel Australia Cabernet-Shiraz Blend, Red Blend (view label images)
Quite dense, needed air to open up, either needs age or aeration, would like to try again and let it open up.
White
Crisp, full bodied, mouthful of rich fruit.
