thanks - Giant Steps looks interesting - I'll try it out

Knappstein "Riposte" Adelaide Hills pinot noir 2013

 

they have a Sabre and a Dagger which have scored well, but this wine was unlabelled in that respect so I queried its provenance with the following response from Vino Mofo

 

The juice comes from the same material as the Sabre but it is a different wine, neither the Sabre or the Dagger. 

 

purchased at half price $10/bottle but was pleasantly surprised that I had forgotten about a $20 voucher earned so discount down to $9/bottle delivered

 

bargain for what appears a lightly oaked style but still with that gamey complexity, perfect with pizzas on a Friday night

Get into this thread @@Butcho.

For me,

 

Taylor's Promised Land Cabernet Shiraz

Majella 'The Musician' - My #1 wine - to me, it beats the Penfolds Bin 389 and I can get 3 Bottles of Musician for the price of 1 bottle of 389!!!

Yalumba 'The Scribbler'

Paringa Pinot Noir

 

Timos.

The current vintage Wirra Wirra Church Block (Bordeaux blend), which is about $16 by the dozen at Dan Murphys, tasted pretty good last night.

I also like the Wirra Wirra 'Scrubby Rise' Red Blend.  A bit cheaper than the Church Block, but I actually prefer it.

Agree!

 

I bought one of these to bring along to a Sunday get together for my family who arrived last weekend for my sons wedding the day before.

 

I couldn't believe the visitors didn't want any so that left more for moi!

 

Great wine for the money.

Definitely! Was my quaffer of choice a few years back. Went away from it, for no real reason. Must head back to DM for a box or two!

Maybe you did have a reason - the years around 2008 or so were not terrific.

 

It's always a good wine, but there were a few odd ones, especially when it debuted in 2004, which were stellar (for the price).

Two Australia Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blends that drink well above their price:

2012 Metala White Label 

2012 Majella The Musician

These can be found around $15. Just bought three bottles of Metala for $38.
