12 x 2020 Woodlands Cab Franc Merlot. One of my favourite wines from all of Margaret River. Drinking superbly now and is too good to bother cellaring for long. Hunt some out for under $30.

6 2024 Drumborg
Cheers Craig

I’ve never been the biggest Drumborg fan. I can sense the inherent quality but tend to prefer the flavour and mouthfeel of Clare. That said, I have some older ones…. Who knows, might change my mind…..

[phillisc]

Yes Mike, slightly different profile, perhaps a fraction less acid, but beautiful mouth feel. Have Drumborg going back to 02.
I love the delicate fruit profile Drumborg and Crawford River. Interestingly I really like Melissa Innes Ottelia Riesling from Mt Gambier...all cool climate
Got the Merle, certainly interested in Kenny, Limefinger and might look at Mt Horrocks.
Going to Clare in June will certainly be looking at heaps of Reisling.
Cheers Craig
