Hangin' Snakes Barossa Shiraz 2022

Deep purple in color; blueberries, plums, and green peppercorns on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins; tastes like blackberry sauce, camphor, and black cardamom with a long finish. It's better after an hour in the decanter. — 2 months ago

Live Wire Barossa Riesling 2022

My son described this as the best white wine he has tasted. A little spritzy - this is not your usual Riesling.... it is lively just as it is named, full of jest and very easy to drink! Great wine! — 2 years ago

Little Wine #12 Syrah

I donated my 3 bottles to a Rare and Collectible Shiraz Dinner at the Downs Club to go with a 2018 Wendouree Shiraz, 2022 Standish Lamella, 2020 Rockford Basket Press and a 2021 Langmeil Freedom. The Sami Odi Little Wine finished middle of the field in this stellar lineup. It was an unvintaged assemblage of 8 different vintages starting with 2022 (49%) through to 2015 (2%). Lush and medium bodied with fluid tannins and great length. Brambley. Fraser likes to drink Little Wine when young and fresh like this is now. Purchased 2 years ago in mid 2023. The consensus winner of the 5 wines was probably the Rockford or the Standish Lamella. Erin Larkin gave the latter 100 points. All 5 Shiraz were outstanding. — a month ago

@Doug Powers It certainly is Doug. I forgot to add we also had a glass of Rockford Sparkling Black - one of the leading examples of Sparkling Shiraz. Also Fraser McKinley did his “apprenticeship “ at Rockford and Torbreck before starting Sami-Odi.

Wattle Brae Eden Valley Riesling 2021

Another dry Riesling from down under, why not?
This is lovely. Right up my alley.
Lemon, lemon zest, flowery scents, some petroly touches too. Textbook Riesling nose. The palate is acid driven, as expected, with lemony and lemon curd notes all along, some good width and a massive grip in the rear. The finish is long, lemony and zesty and goes on for a super long while, leaving a tangy aftertaste that lingers for a moment. Great stuff. Different take than the 2 hands effort I tasted some time ago, unoaked, but very good example of the varietal. Thumbs up again!
