Turkey Flat

Estate Grown Barossa Valley Shiraz 2013

Bob McDonald

9.3

One of the oldest sources of Shiraz in the Barossa with vines first planted in 1847 by Johann Fiedler, a Prussian Lutheran. Their premium wine, The Ancestor Shiraz is produced in minimal quantities from this original vineyard ($300). Since 1860 the Schulz family have been custodians of Turkey Flat. Getting back to this wine, just medium weight, not a Barossa blockbuster. Red spicy fruits, with a little pepper - a seamless palate. Recommended. The house style…, they aim for an elegant yet powerful wine. — 2 months ago

@Doug Powers Are the wines readily available in the USA Doug?

@Bob McDonald, to the best of my knowledge, no, they are not — at least in California, the days of having multiple Aussie wine importers is long gone, now it’s a few specialty importers. Not sure about the situation on the East Coast.

Great info. Thanks for sharing. I’m a fan of Barossa small-batch wines.

9.1

Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and new leather notes, fruit sources from several vineyard sites. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum fruits with tobacco and pepper spice. Firm chewy tannins, savory on a medium+ finish ending with notes of oak, mineral and earthy character. Drinking well now, good value. — 2 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2022

Tom Casagrande

8.9

Very nice Gigondas for the new world order (i.e., global warming) that we’re sentenced to live out our lives in. It’s a fatter, friendlier format, but still in balance. The nose is rich and a little mentholated, with deep plumminess, underbrush and wet clay/gravel scents. In the mouth it’s densely fruity, but with lots of crushed stoniness and some chalky tannins for structure. Acids are decent. Not super complex but a satisfying glass of wine. In 375 ml format. — 3 months ago

“Sentenced to live out our lives in”. Sounds like Tolkien.
