Introducing Melbourne group …
True Lies

Taking a break .. heading to NT for a bit of warmth with friends. Cellar door is open this Sunday but will be closed Sunday 12th Aug and 19th Aug. Friends house sitting can answer any queries. Open again on Sunday Aug 26th … Next Tapas night Friday 31st Aug. See you there

James Halliday rates the Rocky Passes Syrah 2010 a 5 cup wine 94 points … and the winery 5 stars.

“Good colour; a wine that builds on the promise of the ’09, with a complex bouquet of leather, spice and licorice over black fruits, the medium- to full-bodied palate providing a replay of the bouquet, but with greater intensity; excellent cellaring potential, and outstanding value.”
