Hi Ryan and Joe,
Really excited about meeting you both on Thursday.
The tastings sound great and will no doubt lead to an 'interesting' flight home!
See you soon,

Comment on: Foleys Corner Reserve Shiraz 2008
This is what I define as a 'Party wine'. Very fruity, uncomplicated and clean with virtually no tannins. No breathing needed. Crack the top and away you go.
Typical Aussie jammy smell and a cherry red colour.
Sweet jammy summer fruits in the mouth with a tickle of white pepper on the relatively short finish. Therefore you take another sip fairly quickly...and then open another bottle and before you know it....Party Time!!

A simply brilliant medium bodied wine that I would mistake for a really good Pinot Noir.
A subtle summer fruit, minerally nose that practically dares you to take a sip.
It tastes fresh, clean and uncomplicated. Think crushed strawberries filtered in a rocky mountain stream.
And a looooong dry finish. I was lying in bed an hour later and could still detect the minerals.
I love a fruity wine but sometimes you want a drier more savoury wine especially with a tomato based meal and this hits the spot. Excellent.

Nose something of a disappointment. Leather soaked in alcohol.
The taste however is a deep concentrate of chocolate and cherry.
Nice long, tannic finish which lends this wine to go well with food.
We had this with a rustic French chicken dish and the wine was definitely too big for it. Really needs a hearty beef stew on a cold winters night.
