94 Points for 2012 Riesling- Gary Walsh
Gary Walsh, July 2012
Tasted twice this month and I liked it heaps good the first time, a little less the second, so the score sits in the middle of the two tastings Download Snippet
Top Drop with David Sutherland
David Sutherland, The Border Mail, July 2011
Most of the shiraz fruit for this wine comes off dryland vineyards with were used to the tough conditions. Bright crimson purple in colour, intense plum, blackcurrant aromas on the nose with complexing vanillan oak, and a palate wish is rich and ripe with soft fine tannins on the finish and excellent overall balance and length. With food: barbecued lamb chops with plum sauce. Download Snippet
Tim Adams 2008 Reserve Tempranillo
John Lewis, The Newcastle Herald, July 2011
Climate change is the hot topic of today and, because it can withstand rising temperatures, the Spanish Tempranillo (tem-pra-nee-yo) variety is being ebraced by and increasing number of Aussie winemakers. Download Snippet
Tim Adams 2008 Shiraz
Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age, July 2011
Clare Valley Shiraz is always generously constructed and this is no exception. Impenetrable colour and a concentrated nose, reminiscent of stewed berries and plums, spices and meaty notes, introduces a deeply flavoured, rich red wine full of flavour, good body and balanced tannins. Download Snippet
Tim Adams Shiraz 2008
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, May 2011
Tasted alongside the 08 Leasingham Bin 61 Shiraz and the thought that they represented the sunrise (and rise) and sunset of two great Clare Valley players popped into my head. Download Snippet
Top Drops
Peter Forrestal, The Sunday Times, March 2011
Consistently one of the Clare Valley's finest, this wine is outstanding in 2010. It's delicate and restrained one the nose, yet powerful, lean and tight, showing pure limey flavours that are beautifully balanced before a clean, refreshing finish that lingers. Download Snippet
The Five Minute Wine Rush
Paul Ippolito, www.paulippolito.com, February 2011
Top shelf Pinot Gris. I knew from the first pour when the delightfully translucent copper straw colour bedazzled my Riedel glass with its reflections bouncing effortlessly from side to side then finally settling enough for me to have my first sniff and swirl. Pure pears follow along with green apples and lemons, this is and orchardist's idea of heaven. Good liveliness on the palate - balance between ying and yang - you know what I mean. Anyway, it drinks beautifully with my lamb korma with plums and chickpeas and my homemade roti. Download Snippet
Tim Adams 2010 Riesling
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front , February 2011
Sometimes its hard to judge young Riesling, but sometimes....well....its just very easy. And I like wines that make my job easy. Lime, kaffir lime, slate and white pebbles with a slight floral edge. It's juicy and fresh, striking a balance between flavour and finesse - you might call it envigorating even. Beautiful to drink as a young wine and more than likely to reward later. Has length, no hard edges and hits the Riesling bullseye fair on. Thwack. Doing. Need to know more? Go find out for yourself then. 95 points. Download Snippet
