I really enjoy McLaren Vale Shiraz generally as a younger wine.

Yes older wines have a great depth however I enjoy the fruit flavour of younger wines.

I work for a wine company so I won't mention our product (although I do enjoy the perks of the job :cheers:) but my favourite companies from the vale are d'Aranberg and SC Pannell.

Some wonderful Grenache's and blends are also available

:D

And here I was thinking a Neil Diamond song was being discussed.  Not being a drinker, I cannot comment.

I have to agree with this one, and Stevens Vinyard as well.

I was fortunate enough to have a nice Grange and a Cricketpitch in the same meal, personally I preferred the Cricketpitch.

I'd have to say the Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz by a long shot.

On a serious note, I was given a bottle of  Bordeaux from Chateau Les Bruges.

Not something I would buy, but I am now. Its very pleasing to the palate.
Currently delicately sampling smashing a 2007.

The labels usually get me in first, but these are both a favourite at the moment.


   

Jamie & Charli is made by Michael Goundrey. Very yummy wine.

My favourite 'anydayers' are Hentley Farm Shiraz & Skillogalee Basket Press Shiraz.

For something up a notch I love the Hentley Farm Beast Shiraz.

We usually drink any cab or merlot or blend with a particular penchant for WA varieties.  Currently planning a more extended trip and want to leave the multiple glass bottles at home. Has anyone had a half decent cask lately and if so what was it?

The Banrock station varieties are not too bad as a cask, they use the same wine as their bottled variety.

So you like swings and roundabouts then ;D

That Denmark label is a cracker.

Edit, just checked the website to link an image and they have chnaged their labels.  Use to be a dog swinging from a rope swing, now it is boring.

Cheers, I think they are the two litre ones I had used many moons ago and was ging to get them but was wondering if I was missing out on anything by not trying some others.

Yes I like to look at the labels as well, I inherited my fil wine collection when he died (over 300 bottles) and picked all the horse ones to drink first. ;D. My brother in law came for a stay last year, and he helped me put a dent in the collection.  My husband doesn't drink ;D cheers rellbell
