Wine Reviews

A perfumed and floral Riesling with orange blossoms, jasmine, lemon rind and a touch of dried pineapple. Medium- to full-bodied, expressive and energetic, with an incisive thread of acidity. Ripe orchard fruit flavours follow through to the finish, with a pleasantly pithy phenolic texture. Flavourful and persistent. From a single...

The nose gives aromas of wild blackberries, mulberry bush, bay leaves, violets and mocha. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and a creamy texture. A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon, 11% cabernet franc, 11% grenache, 7% malbec, 4% carignan and 2% sciacarello. Delicious. Drink or hold. 93 Points...

Aromas of rhubarb, pepper and dried herbs on the nose. The palate is light-bodied with crunchy tannins, showing notes of wild raspberries and cranberries. Fresh and vibrant with a serious structure. High drinkability that keeps you coming back for more. It’s from the only grower of sciacarello in Australia, Drink...

Very minerally and on the edge of reduction, with aromas of flint, lemon confit and orange blossoms. The palate is textural and precise, with notes of grapefruit rind, lime curd and oyster shells. Excellent balance and polish. Drink or hold. 93 Points Published by James Suckling in October 2024.

The perfume of this. The welcoming. This is a light, sloshy red with more than its fair share of character. It's floral, it's meaty, it's minty, and it's awash with forest berry flavours, the finish then spread with grapey tannin. This is a light red wine, but it's a fair...

I like that various Koerner children get their birthdays noted on the front label of wines. Cute. Happy year one, Zoey Jane Koerner! This is an unfined and unfiltered riesling. A single vineyard wine; planted 1974. It delivers texture and interest well beyond most of the squarer, linear and lean...
