A full bodied pinot?

If you do want a 'full bodied pinot' and are prepared to pay $40, try the Penfolds Pinot Noir.

A shame this old thread has died in the arse. Anyhow, Dan Murphy's this week have an awesome 2 for 1 deal on Parker Estate Coonawarra Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon at $12 a bottle as per this link:

https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produc...-series-shiraz
https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produc...rnet-sauvignon


Both the shiraz and cabernet are excellent medium bodied cool climate wines ( I slightly prefer the shiraz), and at $12 a bottle they are giving it away, an absolute bargain.

(*Disclaimer, I do not work for DM's but I've spent a shitload in there since the 1980s).

Thanks for the heads up….

Jack the Parker is an incredible drinker for the price.

Will check it out

If you buy the Cabernet drink it sooner rather than later. If later keep it well away from any heat

Both wines will keep 5-7 years if properly cared for. Just leave them in the box in a cool place.

Thanks for the tip J.
Very enjoyable shiraz.

Having the cab sav now. Good stuff. Thanks for the recommendation

I'll add, from Coonawarra area, if you're into Chardonnay at all, the Penley Estate Genevieve is a cracker. Just had a 2016. Delicious.

Great recommendation. Thanks.

This wine is exceptional for $15, tastes like a $40-$50 bottle.

Rich bold & smooth Barossa Shiraz, available only in the dozen, but it's a really good investment.

I have bought this wine through Vinomofo previously and can add my endorsement.

Winery is just down the hill from Tanunda Pines Golf Club. Normally a boutique winery I am somewhat surprised Vinomofo scored batches of this.

This is one of my favorite wines. So rich and smooth. I rate it better than the St Hallett $40 equivalent. Like yourself I got in on the first batch and now the second

I see the wine is 'Golden Lion'. Sounds like a Chinese market line that failed.
Nothing wrong with Lou Miranda though, good wine.

our families are from the same region in Italy (Bassano Del Grappa)

Jokes aside mate it's a seriously good wine for the price, I would say it's a good enough level for you and I imagine that bar is quite high.

You must make home made grappa then. Worked for an Italian family in Melbourne for 5 years. Had it in their coffee most mornings

Lou is friends of some of my very good friends.
I have no doubt the wine is good. I'm sure I have drunk it often at their parties.
My only comment was trying suggest why the price might be so attractive, ie loss of a foreign market.

The location of the vineyard and the pedigree of the winemaker suggests the wine should be reliably good.
