There are certain wines that are more special to me than others. Some are just wines that offer amazing value (Davenport Cellars Mr. B), top wine of all time (1996 Château Margaux (France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux) or this wine which Lisa Perrotti-Brown who worked then at the Wine Advocate gave this 86 points. WTSO picked up the poor vintage that was 2011 from Australia but as everyone knows there are always good wines from a lesser know vintage (think 2007 St. Innocent White Rose Pinot Noir which I made famous as well). Well this wine is one of my more popular deals that everyone seemed to buy and love for the most part. Here is the final review on this wine as I am out and it is drink on a pop and pour.
- 2011 Clarendon Hills Cabernet Sauvignon Sandown – Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, Clarendon (3/1/2025)
Walla Walla & Oregon Planning Event at Sunfish Cellars; 2/28/2025-3/1/2025 (Sunfish Cellars/I Nonni Minneapolis, MN): Day 1: The wine that 3 day sold out for WTSO and Lisa who worked at Parker dropped the ball as this is off the charts. Funk, blue currants, dust, dried flowers, pepper and iodine. 94 points
Day 2: Well, the last bottle. These are pop and pour at this point. Not nearly as good as day 1.
Recommendation: Drink now! (94 points)
