Wines From Down Under aka Terra Australis Incognita



Wines from 'Down Under', aka Terra Australis Incognita or just plain Australia have been staple wines since the genesis of my wine adventures.
 
 
 
So why have I only tasted five Australian wines all year? Maybe it's because there are so many wines and so little time; maybe because almost half of the Australian wines I tasted this year were less than satisfactory, but that can't tarnish "the blood (that) is worth bottling" outrageously great wines from Australia which were formative and keeps me coming back.
For whatever reason, I'm seeking out a few boomerang Aussie wines to refresh my love of what they do as well any other country: turn grapes into wine, and when I'm done, "she'll be apples."
Captain Cook had no idea what his Australian adventure would be like, and either do I, but in-vino-veritas.
The best vistas from the past seven years were these:

Decoy Zin "Venocated" By Wine Enthusiast Mag




"This wonderful wine (Decoy 2008 Zinfandel). . .and white pepper. . . So easy to like." Wine Enthusiast Mag. Nov. 10, 2010 Scored it 92.

I reviewed this wine on August 1, 2010 saying: "Having a long white pepper finish seals the deal. I rated this a 91. The aroma is gentle and lovely, deep red color, light (easy to drink) yet complex and rich enough to thwart any doubt that this is a serious Zin."

For the time being, I've abandoned Zinfandel for Shiraz-Syrah. Though I am purchasing a new group of Zins, I wanted to venture into another wine that tends toward spiciness when young and pairs well with similar foods as Zinfandel, though Shiraz is, as I sense it, usually more dense and luscious, richer and aromatic, yet not always so, as evidenced by the Gamba Zin, or the aroma of the Dry Creek.

Because of time constraints, I begin my commentary by listing a few Shiraz-Syrah wines that I scored 89 points to 92 points and mostly costing less than $20. They all were very good, paired well with red meats, but had their own idiosyncrasies.

Jacob's Creek 2006 Reserve Shiraz, $12.99, 89 points,  is smooth, vibrantly finishing long on the spicy side, yet individually marked with a subtle lime-peel tang. The color is more burgundy and less dense than I was use to, but flavor is king.


Mitolo Jester McLaren Vale Australia 2007 Shiraz, $18.99-$21.99, 89 points, is complex, filled with blackberry, black pepper, and a long memorable finish. It is quite typical for these wines to cellar for a few years, and I recommend this Shiraz be used as a comparison wine for those who are interested in aging wine in an appropriate wine-cellar, tasting the evolution, smoothing out the tannin and adding complexity (not always), but also keep in mind the diminishing of the fruit aspects. Most wine reviewers would just say: drink now. I say: experiment.

Klinker Brick Lodi 2007 Farrah Syrah, $16.99, 89 points, needed some decanting, but the earth and leather notes in the aroma were tame and pleasant, the rich texture, and spicy finish qualified this wine to be in the same caliber as the other two Shiraz/Syrah wines.

Landmark Steel Plow 2006 Syrah, $32, 90 points, has me bucking many others who were carried away with this wine. I had to hunt high and low to find this, and I was quite disappointed with it, considering all the hype WS gave the Steel Plow a remarkable 94 points, though Stephen Tanzer's International Wine cellar gave it a 90 also. I'm finding an affinity for certain wine critics!
Landmark's 2006 Syrah is a big wine, well structured and balanced, with a good finish and aroma. I found it a bit pricey, especially compared to the Penfolds 2005 Bin 28.

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna 2005 Shiraz, $19.99, 91 points, was rich, big and gentle at the same time, aromatic, having flavors of blueberries, mocha highlighted the mid-palate, and complimenting the finish was sweet-spice.
I scored this wine 91 points as did I score Two Hands 2007 Gnarly Dudes ($24.49) and 2006 Lily's Garden, but the Penfolds Bin 28 is, in my estimation, the best value.

Zaca Mesa 2006 Syrah, $19.99, 92 points, rich in licorice, spice, dark-berry, luscious and smooth, is wonderful.

Truchard 2005 Syrah, $24.99, 92 points, flavorful, smooth, is an excellent value.

Two Hands Angel's Share 2008 Shiraz, $24.49, 92 points, balanced the tobacco, licorice, pepper, fine bouquet, and finish into a near perfect package.

Yangarra McLaren Vale 2007 Shiraz, $18.99, 92 points has a beautiful bouquet, gentle hint of clay, early palate pepper, licorice notes, tangy and complex, with a long spicy finish, well balanced and luscious; this is a good stand-alone wine or pairs well with a rib-eye; all these 92 point wines share acclaim in my book, with the Yangarra being the best value.

Cabernet Sauvignon (Australia)







New Hampshire wine lovers will be hard pressed to find very many Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Australia, but Cabernet Sauvignon represents the second most produced varietal next to Shiraz in Australia, and I for one want to familiarize myself with as many as I can find. The Penfolds Bin 407 was a wonderful find, and others are often quite inexpensive.
The list below of reviewed Cabernet Sauvignon wines is a work in progress adapted for "smart" phone users.



Château Tanunda Grand Barossa 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, $15.99-$17.99, 89 points

Château Tanunda Barossa "Matthews Road" 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, $7.64-$19.99, 87 points

Domaine Terlato~Chapoutier Pyrenees 2012 Shiraz, Or The French Wine From Australia?






Domaine Terlato~Chapoutier Pyrenees 2012 Shiraz, Or The French Wine From Australia?

Wow! An Australian Shiraz that drinks like silk, shows only a 13.5% alcohol, and for a paltry $19.99 (listed for $49.99)!
The color was a more deep garnet than a typical Shiraz purple/red, but thick legs dripped into the clear wine ring.
Aromatically shy, but soft floral and mulberry aromas were okay.
Slightly heavier than medium-bodied, fair-plus acidity, and moderately supportive tannin carried flavors of tart pomegranate and violets, these too were just okay.
Finished on mild spice notes and a lingering palate.
More a red table wine (JMO) with not a lot of character than an in your face Aussie Shiraz, but for the price, I wasn't disappointed.
NHWM's rating: 89 points.

Shiraz-Syrah Planet


Planeta 2005 Syrah, $27.99, 91 is absolutely an experience in wine tasting! A wonderfully different Syrah from the West Coast of Sicily, uniquely rich and yet approachable, having a crushed peppery long finish and a pleasant aroma. Even at the somewhat higher price, this is a great value for those looking for something outside the box in a Syrah-Shiraz.


Jim Barry 2007 Shiraz Lodge Hill Clare Valley, $17.99, 90,  is a powerful red wine, this remarkably consistent and complex Shiraz simply will not quit; big, bold, and bright, the 2007 has a story to tell, of its high rocky elevation and cool temperatures that stingily produce low-yield grapes bursting with intense fruit flavor, with notes of licorice and chocolate, as well as hiding many other flavors for the mature wine taster, and having a long finish of spice complimenting your biggest sauces and meats.


Gallo Family Sonoma Reserve 2005 Syrah, $8.99, 89 points, was a big surprise for me. I've found a focused Syrah of plum and dark berry, and simply awash in a fair peppery finish, only a fair aroma, but a medium bodied richness that impresses right up to a late palate lusciousness that is most pleasant. This wine has been in my cellar for some time eluding my tasting, but gratefully I found it hiding, and hiding no more. Big buy in my book.


Marquis Philips 2007 So.E. Australia Shiraz, $15.29, 87 points, and a fair price for such a big wine. It held-up nicely for three days, but at times was a bit bitter; maybe with a year or two in the cellar some of that bitterness might mellow-out, but as is, the Marquis Philips was a good, typically bold Australian Shiraz that paired well with beef, and would make a great red wine for the barbecue.


Moshin California central Coast 2000 Syrah, $14.99, 87 points, smoothly goes down, for this quaffable, and fruity red wine (having mellowed tannins combined with 13.6% alcohol), characterized by its easy drink-ability, identifies this as a California Syrah vs. the the heavy bodied, alcohol driven Australian Shiraz (not all, I know). Though I found the 2000 a bit too tame for me, as it reminded me of a good aged Columbia Valley Merlot. I still recommend this wine, but I would like to try the 2007 vintage as a comparison.

Penfolds South Australia "Max's" 2014 Shiraz/Cabernet







Penfolds South Australia "Max's" 2014 Shiraz/Cabernet, $19.99-$23.99, 87 points, poured core black grading Shiraz purple/red toward the broad clear wine ring and heavily draped glass bowl.
Aromatic floral cedar with ripe mulberry were pleasant.
Full-bodied with good acidity and somewhat austere tannins which overcame what negatives ascribed with rich, warm, and lively flavors of spiced black fruits and a hint of tobacco.
Finished long on the trailing palate, pomegranate, a robust 14.5% alcohol, and mucho warm spices.
Paired engagingly with my spicy chili and Monterey jack soft tacos.
Varietals were 85% Shiraz and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Mitolo G.A.M. McLaren Vale Australia 2007 Shiraz REVISITED

 


Mitolo G.A.M. McLaren Vale Australia 2007 Shiraz REVISITED, $33.18-$38.99, 93 points, poured core black grading to an unfiltered rosewood red with a coppery sheen, a bleeding meniscus, and stained legs.
Good aromas of earth, coffee, fennel, and hints of rose peddle and cinnamon were outstanding.
Finished long on the fading palate, a hint of iron, and a well-balanced 15% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my Texas burger and chips.
Last time I had this wine was thirteen years ago, and my comments proved to be prescient: this wine improved in some areas with time, and not many Sixteen-year-old Shiraz wines can say that.
The latest G.A.M. Shiraz averages $46.00.

Penfold's South Australia BIN 389 2015 Shiraz/Cabernet Red Wine




Penfold's South Australia BIN 389 2015 Shiraz/Cabernet Red Wine, $29.69-$69.99, 93 points, poured core black with purple/reds lapping the glass wall of dripping tinted heavy tears.
Aromatic cedar, black currants and lush ripe blackberries were excellent.
Full-bodied with bright acidity and early strident tannins might strike some as a bit too tight, but the flavors reflective of the aromas with citrus and pomegranate were deliciously enlivened.
Finished long and dry on the trailing palate, accelerating pepper spices, mulberry, sweet tobacco, and an appropriate 14.5% alcohol.
Varietals were 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Shiraz.

INDEX of REVIEWED WINES with extras below





  INDEX of REVIEWED WINES
is being reconstructed; keep in mind that most wines reviewed (except for maybe 9) were found and bought in New Hampshire.

  Lets get the scoring (I use the 100 point rating system loosely) out of the way; everyone has a scoring system of one kind or another, and like politics, everyone's own predilection, style, or system is important to them.
Whether one uses 'stars', adjectives like, wonderful, spectacular, average, poor, other, or the five point, 10 points,
20 point, 50 point or 100 point systems makes NO difference to me; I use the 100 point system because it's the most widely used and it's user friendly (JMO), but it is important to see a couple subtleties: An excellent wine scoring 90 points (arbitrary) that costs $100 isn't anything like a 90 point wine that costs $20, it's a QPR (Quality/Price/Ratio) issue; also, a reviewer that's tasted 10,000 wines is more likely to rightly divide any wine against another, that's why you'll hear sommeliers say: "taste, taste, and taste some more."
  I did want to mention a pit-fall with some of the other ways of helping someone to chose when purchasing one wine verses another: Anecdotally, the other morning I was comparison shopping for a Zinfandel, lo and behold a major Web wine dealer listed a Twisted Zinfandel at $9.99 with a higher rating than a Seghesio Zinfandel Old Vines at $26.79; keep in mind that it wasn't the cost that was problematic for me (mostly for the uninitiated), but the quality, and I've had both wines: There is NO comparison! Luckily, they did provide the Seghesio with an additional WS 93 point score, no other score like that for their twisted friend.
  My interest is mostly local and concentrates mostly on wines available in New Hampshire; the average purchaser of wine in NH isn't looking to buy wines from the producer, and I know few people that buy from dealers.
  So, my opinions expressed usually between 75-97 points are just that, my opinions, and if that works as a guide to family and friends, then that makes my day!
Cheers!
