Pinot Blanc, not all that common but could be a new ‘go to’ white variety. Described by

 as “the white cousin of Pinot Noir”, it is a creamy lemon, citrus delight with a texture that provides instant happiness. A crisp finish that makes you demand more…simple…

 range with this 2017 Aglianico from the northern Adelaide Hills. Aglianico, late ripening, spends a few weeks on skins and sees a mixture of older oak and stainless steel. The result? Zippy, cherry, candy-cane on the nose. Slight touch of fresh greenery, yum. Excitable palate as the cherry, sweet sour combo of fruit goodness gets a boost of fine tannins. For a varietal I’m not that across this is a bloody tasty little number! ⠀

Goodbye Wednesday, hello 4 day weekend and Hoddles Creek 2018 Pinot Noir. Red fruits, spiciness, and a very pretty perfume are what I’ve come to expect from this wine. It’s one of my go to wines when it’s released and this years no different! Great work, and grab it while you can!! ⁣

I’ve been so impressed with the wines from

 lately and this is no exception. Barossa Cabernet isn’t usually my cuppa but this is relaxed, full, and round with no pointy edges if that makes sense. It packs in the usual flavour suspects of cassis, blackberry and plums. Mint chocolate notes excite the palate and it’s all wrapped up smoothly with balanced acidity and tannin. It’s approachable as soon as you get the cap off, pop and pour no problem! -

I've been on an Italian wine quest lately adding some gems to the collection. This was the last of the northern Italian's added and by all accounts it's a stunner! Next stop, Tuscany! ⁣

A royal flush in poker is exceptionally rare and is therefore the most coveted hand.

So is this the Royal Flush of Yarra Valley Pinot?

No doubt this wine needs more time. Patience. Just like playing poker. For $55 it presents ridiculous value.

A down to earth Pinot from the Yarra Valley. A mix between those dark fruits of cherry and blueberry but does add a little spice at the end.

This one comes down to price, at $20, I would buy a few more and a good Pinot for that mid week drink, but once you hit the $30 mark, there is so much competition and I’ve had better vintages ...simple...

 The Hills by Coldstream Hills Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2019

Region: Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia

Firstly open this wine at least an hour before drinking or decanter (trust me, this wine deserves it)

The smell is really enticing, while the taste is full of dark fruits, but its the ending that I love. I savour every last drop in my mouth and squeeze every bit of flavour from my tongue. Its firm and dry but I'm already looking forward to the next sip. A very good wine. It has a level of flavour and a bite that I enjoy. Recommendation: Buy 3 (at least)

Have one now and keep the others for a few years, I think this wine will develop into greatness and I bet you wished you had bought 6 or even 12. 🍷

_noise_wine permission, I’m changing the name to:

Remember when you were a kid and you would lay on the grass look into the sky and somehow saw a dinosaur or a rocket ship in the clouds. Well, grab a bottle this impressive Chardonnay and just enjoy looking at the clouds (again) you will be amazed what you will see (especially towards the end of the bottle)...simple...

Bold favour that created an explosion on the tongue, yet ended with this delicate and smooth flow. Natillie Johnston aka Tillie J. is a very good winemaker.
