Absolutely love Noons wines and value
I love all of Noons wines and what he stands for. However when if ever will Drew move as most other wineries have and put his prices up (also given the very low volume in next years releases). He is so sincere and really cares about his customers. Your views on the above and comments on the Noons range/quality?
He'll put up the prices when he wants more money. He has probably realized (for him) that money is only a small piece in the happiness equation compared to making others happy.
Personally I find the wines too big BUT I think Australian wine needs a few hundred Drew Noons all trying different styles. The oz wine world is far richer for this type of wine maker.

Just received my Noons order this morning. Loved the bit of cardboard on top of the wine that has all the old wine labels printed on it. Nice touch. As always, handwritten note included too.
Personally, I love the old fashioned service and friendliness. Drew is a top bloke. The wines are big but can be magnificent when they settle down. I'll certainly keep buying while the prices are so affordable.

Not just in wine industry, but in general I have seen only a few people who are so down to earth and humble and firendly (not to mention he is one of the Master of Wine out of only 3 in Australia) Back in 2005 when I was in Mc LarenVale, I just wondered into his famous vineyard where those magneficient old greenache vines are, he took plenty of time to answer my endless questions and showed me around the winery event hough he was in the middle of doing somethimg. When I asked about the low prices, he justy said he was making enought money to live on. I think he is just a unique personality. I would support him and his magneficent wines even if the wine industry comes to its end in Australia
