Happy Monday Wine Lovers! 

I'm seasoning the chateaubriand today for Wed. Planning the perfect V-Day dinner. If you don't go with the "love" themed wines below consider something from To-Kalon - that's where I'm leaning... Thinking Myriad, Vice-Versa or Schrader...

Check out the SPW To Kalon Vineyard Selection Here

Cheers!

Mollydooker Carnival of Love Shiraz 2021 750ml

wa 94 ws 93

The 2016 Carnival of Love is an opulent celebration of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Fresh aromas of raspberry and plum, with hints of earthiness, create the intense nose, while the palate provides a full spectrum of flavours from cherry to mocha and spice. Exhibiting poise and balance, the lovely hints of oak reside as an undercurrent of fine tannins and subtle vanilla. The soft mouthfeel creates the sense of melted chocolate, yet the lingering finish of berry compote brings the wine to where Shiraz excels.

Aubert Powder House Chardonnay 2021 750ml

wa 95-97 v 94-96

The 2021 Powder House is a study in minerality and persistence. True to its name, the wine bounds out of the glass with powdered lime zest and crushed seashell aromatics that frame notes of candied green apple and Madame Plantier rose. Sweet graham cracker and almond croissant perfectly knit with these lifted citrus and orchard fruits across the palate alongside an unfading, saline minerality. Structurally, the wine is poised and precise, with mouthwatering acidity characteristic of a true vin de garde. Enjoyable today, the wine will soar through the coming decade, and can be cellared over the next 10 to 15 years. The wine is slightly hazy showing our commitment to minimal intervention winemaking.
