St. Hallett Faith Shiraz 2017, Barossa, South Australia
Australia$23.95
(4)
both LCBO and Wine Align advertise as a 2017 but is actually a 2018?? Whats more, in the past I've purchased either a 2014 or 2015, which I liked and it no longer appears in their history??
Dec 2020....Xmas gift to Kim & Kelley
October 2021....for Thanksgiving. Went well enough with our turkey thighs and roasted vegetables. A bold, rich and dark wine with exotic and smokey flavour. Smooth enough to enjoy as a sipper but better with food. First sip Crystal had had since her pregnancy with Auston, she said it was heavenly! (90)

Best's Great Western Bin No. 1 Shiraz 2009, Grampians, Victoria
Victoria, Australia$24.95
2015 + 2016/17
May 2020....all gone now (must have bought minimum 3, maybe more), think I finished off the last bottle maybe fall of 2019. This was a really spectacular shiraz, throughout its entire evolution, but I think I found it most spectacular in its youth.....full of flavour and vibrant. (91+)

Bachelder Les Villages Niagara Gamay Noir 2018, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario
Ontario, Canada$22.95

return'd 2
2021 + summer 2022
January 2021.....had with chicken salad and quinoa salad....nice, better than the Adamo, but a light gamay noir not my cup of tea....I prefer more mid-weight and perhaps more fruit. There is a sharpness to GN that doesn't much appeal to me. Only ever meant to buy 2 bottles, so wont keep the second 2 after this initial taste. Drink second one summer of 2022.
May 2023....what a difference a couple of years can make! No sharpness, was smooth and flavourful (cherry). Quite enjoyed with both chicken and pork meals. Highly drinkable and enjoyable! (90+)

Pirramimma Katunga Gts 2007, Mclaren Vale, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$24.95
2016+2017 (18 latest)
April 2016...still not enjoying this style of wine much anymore, too alcholic (14.5) and sweet (typical Aussie). First glass ok but got tired of it with 2cd. Ok to gift remaining bottle.
?? Think I may have had the second bottle in 2017/18 and pretty sure I enjoyed it more than the first, perhaps had mellowed further.
