I don't think I've ever had a Wolf Blass wine before, but is Grey Label 2018 for $20ea worth a punt?

Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz 2018 - Red Wine

There's a reason Wolf Blass are so popular... After a well-planned stint in the cellar, this wine is sitting at a beautiful stage of its life - full of those delicious rich fruits, pepper, spice and chocolate, all slowly developing more decadence with each day of bottle age under cork...

Yes. I found the Grey Label to be of a great value. $20 is good. I usually prefer the Cab Sav if it is also an option.

I can't find any references to the

Parker Estate Abbey Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021​

anywhere. Is this a Vinomofo special label. (ie their standard Cab with a label just for Vinomofo). Anyone have any views on it - some of the other wines from this Estate get good reveiws

Any thoughts on the 2018 Rolf Binder Selection Shiraz? Seems like it might be a made for VM wine.

Like the inflated $RRP

I grabbed some of this a few years back. Maybe the 2011. Was underwhelmingly flat for all the claims of being one of NZs finest. Sigh.

Does not live up to the hype.
Maybe Coleraine instead for future buys if this is the style you like.

Seems a risk to shell out for NZ #1 bordeaux blend when #2 so shet

Personally I don't care for either.

I haven't tried any Sophia vintages for many years, but just an observation that 2011 was being flogged in many places for a long time, i.e. with little success and no repeat buys. On The Real Review, every vintage since 2011 has rated 2-5 points higher than the 2011. Perhaps you should not reject the brand/label based on one less than stellar vintage and a bottle that may have had a suspect storage history before you bought it. Of course the cork seal may have also contributed to your unhappy experience.

I fail to see anything the slightest bit iffy in considering a sample of two to be an infallible indicator of a wine.

Has anyone tried the 2019 Stonehouse Parous? A friend is asking. 95pts from wine orbit suggests it must be vile but hey...

No, but thinking of buying with the next code that drops.
I bought the standard white label Parous 2010 from VM for $20pb back in 2015 and was happy with it at that price.

Yes it is.
Be wary of overt mint/menthol characters.

It's most likely to be Parker Terra Rossa cab sauv, which uses grapes from the Abbey vineyard, & the 2022 vintage sells for $34 directly from Parker. The words "Abbey Vineyard" instead of "Terra Rossa" being the only change from the original label to that on the VM version. If so, it's a well made wine.

Maybe Coleraine instead for future buys if this is the style you like.

That's what I thought it was over the weekend before coming here and realising it wasn't. Would have been very happy with Coleraine, so glad I didn't pull the trigger prematurely.

I'm on the lookout constantly for Chatto Creek, they wont ship out of NZ and were offered only once that I can see on Vinomofo.

Chatto Creek Tinkers Pinot Noir 2016 – WTF! Deal - Red Wine

Gamey, graphitey and gorgeous, this is the wine NZ pinotfiles have been waiting for. A ripe fruited, rounded palate with fine, silky tannins and a lingering, spicy finish. This was built to age, and now it's absolutely ready to go. They grow up so fast, don't they.

I also bought this Chatto Creek from Vinomofo. I recall that it was very agreeable.

Kiwi pinot isn't easy to get a hold of, especially so ones that have earned their stripes enough to be held as a cellar reserve.

Looks like they both sold out quickly.

2015 was available for a while. I even bought more after my first sixer was consumed. I didn't see the other Chatto, probably missed it.
