An old favourite, albeit with a prior change in ownership, we suspected a bit of a dip in form. Back on track or was our suspicion unfounded? I daresay it is still the most wonderfully calm and peaceful cellar door.

12 x 2010 Nillahcootie Estate Merlot
12 x 2010 Nillahcootie Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
12 x 2012 Nillahcootie Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Couldn't resist at $60 a case...

Small purchase, to see what it's like.

3 x 2012 Cavallotto Langhe Nebbiolo

I dont really know why, but

6* ‘19 Carmes Haut Brion

Hi Ian,
It was a gift from my wife as it is one of our favourite cellar doors in MR. I didn't know about the change of ownership - the 2013 got only ok(ish) reviews from winefront and halliday but picked up some pretty fancy results from the IWC. I'm looking forward to drinking it.

3 x 2001 Moss Wood CS (not auction so fingers crossed no gremlins lurking)

12 x 2016 Redman Cabernet
2 x 2010 Redman Cabernet

My order along with others, after a very enjoyable Zoom tasting with Dan Redman

Quite a while back (this from their website)
At the end of 1999 when Jeff and Wynn decided to retire to Busselton and put Woody Nook on the market, Peter and Jane Bailey became the proud new owners in May 2000. Jeff and Wynn's son Neil stayed on as Winemaker/Viticulturist. Jeff passed away peacefully in Busselton in March 2019 at the age of 89.

Although Peter and Jane had lived in WA for almost 20 years, at that time they were resident in the USA. Thanks to modern technology they were able to become deeply involved with the day to day running of the winery and were regular visitors (for extended periods in Jane’s case). In September 2007, after almost 15 years overseas, the Baileys returned to Western Australia permanently.

My concerns were c. the era they were living in the US. I could see how being hands on in recent times could be beneficial
