I was guessing another vintage of the Capel Vale Scholar but wasn't sure

Could be The Scholar, but I can't find a Ray Jordan review of the 2010, and the price doesn't seem to match either. VM had the 2011 at $80->$40 and the 2012 is $79.95 on the Capel Vale website.

I can now say the Margaret river cab sav $85 down to $40 is the Capel Vale Scholar.
Bloody awesome wine, tried 1 last night other 5 tucked away in my wine fridge. The 140 bottle wine fridge is way way tooooo small.

Hi all,

Quick sanity check (as it's almost sold out ), the Secret Deal 2011 Riesling likely to be A.T Richardson Chockstone? Grampians, check. Rating (94), check. Alcohol, 12% at mof_, 12.5% actual. Cellar to 2020, check. It's a restock so wondering if it's been brought up here before, though a search for Chockstone yields nothing.

I think it's the 2011 Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge

If it is the Mount Langhi its a top drop

You're probably right. Too late, sold out. Rats

It's nice enough and when compared to $30-40 cabernets like Majella or Wynns Black Label, it holds its own. Not sure it stands against $85 cabernets like The Tally or Domaine A, but I think it's good value at $40, given it has a few years of bottle aging thrown in.

New Margaret River Shiraz...?

Churchview Estate Bartondale

 

[Podolo]

Based on the above, I'm guessing that the Margaret River Chardonnay reduced from $55 to $19.90 with 94 Halliday points is the Church View Bartondale also. Has anyone tried this before?

Agreed. Though it's interesting that VM don't highlight the 5* winery

Churchview Estate Bartondale

I am hoping the Cabernet of these folks is the better choice as the Shiraz has eight per cent viognier, which should make it taste a little different, and possibly unexpected. I hate surprises.

Three wines out of the same place - they need a little description variety I think. For what its worth, their Churchview range are stunning wines and the Bartondale premium is supposed to be a cut above again.

I don't understand how it could be a surprise, since VM say in the description "There are some subtle aromatics courtesy of a splash of viognier but the foundation is the intense fruit which is framed by well-balanced oak"

From the Halliday TN: The contribution of the viognier is immediately obvious, perhaps a little too much so.

The original idea of using viognier was to enhance texture (and colour, surprisingly), not add white fruit aromas and flavours. I want my shiraz to taste like shiraz, not smell and taste of viognier.

Calling 8% viognier "a splash" is a masterpiece of understatement not becoming the usually extroverted VM style.

Depending on the blending 1% to 3% is a "splash" IMHO (e.g. an amount which doesn't need to be disclosed).

Depending on the blending 1% to 3% is a "splash" IMHO (e.g. an amount which doesn't need to be disclosed).

Variety claims/statements are optional for most Aus wines, but if a variety is claimed the wine must be at least 85% of that variety, or multiple varieties can be listed in descending order if none is 85% or more.
Components under 15% need not be declared.
There are many different ways of creating shiraz-viognier, including co-ferment, fermenting shiraz with viognier skins and blending after fermentation.

AC...you are right in what you said, I actually did not read the Shiraz characteristics from the Fo at all. I. Went to the Churchview website and got it from there. Greg the winemaker is pretty smart, so is the French bloke in cellar door. For my own 6 packer, I went the Cabernet. We will see whether it becomes' Possibly our best yet'. Nice to have a discussion about the under fifteen per enters again.

Hello all, anyone know what the current mof_ SECRET DEAL Shiraz 2013 is? Tried to search but couldn't find a match on a 96 Halliday shiraz with $49 RRP.

Thanks.
