Rockfords discussion

Tried it last week. Not too shabby. For me the RR Cab stands out as their best wine.

Here's a pic of some of their old grenache and cab

Very nice,

I saw Liquorland Warehouse asking $280 for 2021 BP the past week. So I guess $92 plus postage is a big buy.

My Rockford's order arrived yesterday. Been a Stonewaller since 1992 (the week I arrived in Australia). 5 x Alicante Bouchet (wife's favourite) 5 x Frugal Farmer (great quaffer) and 2 x Basket Press which is now at an eye-watering $92/btl...Straight into the wine fridge for the Basket Press to get a bit of age on them...

Has any tried the ‘22? Bit of discussion about low ratings and a thin BP.

I thought the '22 was ok, not blow your socks off but hasnt been that way for years. There was a period not so long ago where the BP was a bit wanting, but I think they’ve turned a bit for the better in last few years. That said, and noting its not what's being asked, there is far better Braossa shirazes out there for the money.
