De Beaurepaire Richard Central Ranges Pinot Noir 2021 scores 92 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A potent, dry, robust Pinot Noir, but still manages to offer up good cherry fruitiness, mushroom/truffle notes, some undergrowth and brambles and a bit of game meat too. Savoury style, bold in a way, and well judged for those seeking Pinot with a bit of muscular appeal.” $75. @debeaurepairewines #CentralRanges #PinotNoir #savoury #cherry #mushroom #wine
Tapanappa Definitus Foggy Hill Pinot Noir 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A stately and serious Pinot that delivers quite a bit of depth and concentration for the variety, all of which is enveloped in granitic-minerally tannin profile and a generosity of fine, fancy, spicy oak seasoning. Dark cherry, plum, black olive and sweet turned earth characters abound. A glossiness to texture, suppleness to tannin, great extension of flavour generally. Fine wine.” $90. @tapanappa #FoggyHill #finewine #wine
Casella does everything on a huge scale including its new solar facility with 8,730 solar panels. Story on the WBM site. #yenda #solar #sustainability #sun Photo: Vince Bucello.
Hewitson 1853 Barrel Barossa Valley 2020 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “At the top of the tree for Hewitson wines, this is the statement piece in a glass. A freight train of dark berries, stewed plums, nougat, chocolate, liquorice, all the sweet spices and flinty, smoky oak seasoning. Impossible concentration and power too, the wine lingering forever with each sip. A juggernaut with an uncanny balance for things, but strap in for each bottle.” $450. @hewitsonwines #barossa #juggernaut #freight #train #wine #power #concentration 🍷
