Pure Love Wines 2005 Layer Cake

            "My old grandfather made and enjoyed wine for 80 years. He told me the soil in which the vines lived we’re a layer cake. He said, the wine, if properly made,was like a great layer cake, fruit, mocha, chocolate, and hints of spice — and rich, always rich. 'Never pass up a good Layer Cake,' he would say. 'I have always loved those words."

Les Pionniers Sauvignon Blanc

    "The Les Pionniers Sauvignon Blanc has a beautiful nose with delicate aromas of Meyer lemon, ripe pear, mango and white spring flowers. The mid-palate is creamy yet fresh with great minerality, showing off our terroir with a pleasant lingering finish."

Mollydooker Shiraz McLaren Vale Carnival of Love 2006

           Opened and tasted immediately: Mushroom, plum, cherry, big fruits, big yet soft tannins. Decanted. 2 hour decant: Great color. Still tight on the nose. The initial mushroom note is gone with the appearance of a musty-forest floor with a touch of pepper and bacon. On the palette it’s toasted cedar, vanilla, plum, pretty solid through the middle with a long, complex finish that goes on and on. At this point I’m definitely seeing 96 pts or more. 3 hour decant: Again showing better, more buttery now with a bit more spice. The fruits in this wine just don’t stop. Quite pleasing and still 96+ points. 4 hour decant: Just as elegant as before. I’m quite impressed with the structure of this wine and overall quality. Very good
