Jim Irvine was world famous for high-end Eden Valley Merlot, a variety many other winemakers – and many consumers – steered clear of. He made Merlot his own in Australia singing its praises to anyone who would listen and winning numerous awards. “Jim was a friend, mentor and inspiration to many of us.” May his legacy live on.

Mesh Classic Release Eden Valley Riesling 2017 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “A small quantity set aside for late release is an exemplar of the glorious endurance of the legendary Mesh! Robert Hill-Smith and Jeffrey Grosset’s mastery with Eden Valley Riesling are on grand display in this mild season. At eight years of age, it wonderfully meshes the vibrant lime, lemon and white pepper of youth with bountiful layers of lemon butter, toast and honey. In energy, purity, concentration and endurance, this is one of the great Meshs, with many more years of potential yet.” $40. @edenvalleysa @grossetwines @hillsmithfamilyestates #Riesling #EdenValley #glorious #endurance #energy #purity #concentration #95 🙌🙌
