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

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

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

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.

Be wary of overt mint/menthol characters.
Riposte En Garde Pinot Noir 2024 — Campbell Mattinson
Mattinson review of Riposte En Garde Pinot Noir 2024
www.campbellmattinson.com
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.

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.

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.

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.
I bought this using $25 off and free delivery and for $15 a bottle it's excellent. Eden valley, decent length with nice acid (decanted for 5 hours) one of the better wines I've had this year at this price
