QWine - Australian Wine Reviews: July 2015
http://qwineblog.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 July 2015. A Rosé made from Sangiovese and gee it's good. And to be honest, I'm not sure what I like the most here. The evocative floral aromas or the delicious savoury appeal the fruit delivers. Either way, this is right in the slot. Red berries, red currants, even a hint of guava, the fruit and acid is balanced with precision here. A shimmer of spice on the finish adds further interest. I'd go here again for sure. Ice cold, throw me a glass. Wednesday, 29 July 2015. St Mary's Carillon 2013.

QWine - Australian Wine Reviews: St Mary's Carillon 2013
http://qwineblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/st-marys-carillon-2013.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. St Mary's Carillon 2013. This is a sophisticated delight and quite a pleasant surprise I must admit. The vineyard sits 15 km west of Penola and the fruit is hand picked. Winemaker Ian Milligan's family settled in the area back in 1937 so there's some great history here. A blend of Cabernet, Shiraz, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, the medium body (13.5% alc) profile caught my attention from the outset. Ready to drink now but will cellar for at least ten. Angove Nine Vines Rosé 2015.

QWine - Australian Wine Reviews: St Mary's Shiraz 2013
http://qwineblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/st-marys-shiraz-2013.html
Thursday, 6 August 2015. St Mary's Shiraz 2013. Another captivating wine from St Mary's. I enjoyed the Carillon. A little more, but regardless, this stood up to the task well. Medium bodied, so soft and deliciously moreish. Peppermint, a bit of eucalypt and drowned in lots of fruit. There's a supple nature about it and it just slides through with ease. Black fruits are generous but don't over play their hand supported well by neatly placed oak. Quite a comforting and enjoyable wine. St Marys Shiraz 2013.
