NV Wagner Family of Wines Red Schooner Voyage 7
4/20/2024 - MS86 Likes this wine: 92 Points
Rich and powerful. Still prefer this to Voyage 8. Not extracted. Notes of mint, blueberry and blackberry on the nose. Soft tannins, ripe acidity and a touch of residual sugar will make this a crowd pleaser. Flavours of blueberry, cedar, menthol and tobacco. Good length. Not sure this is the style that will show improvement in time. Drink in the next few years.

2015 Icellars Estate Winery Wiyana Wanda Icel Vineyard
4/18/2024 - MS86 Likes this wine: 92 Points
Bold, rich Cab dominant blend. At nine years of age this is showing few signs of evolution. Aged 24 months in new French oak. Deep, inky purple in the glass. Nose dominated by blueberry syrup, menthol, new leather and smoke. Firm tannins, powerful acidity and lovely alcohol integration. Flavours are rich and sweet and well matched to the nose. Ripe blueberry, black cherry and blackberry. Excellent length. Probably better in 5 years.

2020 The Farm Syrah RR81
4/15/2024 - MS86 Likes this wine: 89 Points
So far this was our favourite from a six pack of RR81 wines. 20% whole cluster. Aged a year in neutral French oak. A different take on Syrah. Juicy, gamey nose bursting with red berries and red cherry. Medium bodied, robust acidity and lovely alcohol integration. Palate adds a tart cranberry. Quite pleasant overall. Would happily drink again on a warm evening.
