Review:

You'll be shocked to know I found this wine walking around in our grocery store after hitting a few bottles at the house. My wine lady had put some new bottles in the fancy dispenser and this was one of them. It was actually better than the $40 Chapellet even with your pinkie up.

Turns out this wine is from Australia. I had no idea until 5 minutes ago when I did my 12.5 second research. It's from the Coonawarra wine region - Aussies have the dumbest-ass named places but they can make some great wine.

In da nostrils I get vanilla and oak and in da mouf I get lotsa churries and like flowers and stuff. Honestly you really need to pick up this wine. The 2016 vintage was #28 in the top 100 wines of 2018 for Wine Spectator and at that price you're crazy to sleep on it. You should totally sleep with it though.
