The 2002 is supposed to be something very special, though I havent heard about the 03.

The 2003 is out here in SoCal. Sells for about $70+USD. Part of the Two Hands stable. Do a Google search under Branson Coach House Block and about half way down the page there will be a link to the Wine Spectator shiraz tasting. Unfortunately I can't link it here as the link ends up going back to the WS subscription page, but you should be able to open it from Google.

I've tasted the 2002 Greenock Block and plan to try the 2003 in a week or two. A lot of folks like these wines, and I believe that the winemaker is Matt Wenk so they should be good. Unfortunately I was not overly impressed with the 2002 Greenock, and I tried two bottles. From that I just could not justify the $80+ to try the Coach House Block.

Mike,

Thanks for the comments. I did see the Spectator write-up, but was hoping for some notes from board members. I went ahead and bought a few bottles - I got a considerably better price than $70.
