Jericho Family Wines Home Tasting Pack As I've outlined in a recent post, these virtual cellar door tastings is one of the inventions/innovations in wine in recent memory. So to start my virtual cellar door experience, I travelled on my couch to the McLaren Vale via Adeliade Hills to visit the wonderful Jericho Family Winery. I've had @jerichowines previously and are a favourite of mine, so I was excited to taste the latest releases. Jericho Wines have carefully curated a special tasting pack of their favourites wines. At 6 x 100mls, it equates to a just under a bottle of wine or if you share them it’s similar to what you get at an actual cellar door. I could do six separate reviews but I thought let’s just treat this like a visit to the actual cellar. I started with the whites and followed the included tasting notes. What a great tasting. All of them were very good and I would recommend them all, but as this a review, I decided to ranked them in order of my preference; 1. 2016 Single Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz, 2. Tempranillo from Adelaide Hills 3. 2019 McLaren Vale Grenache Shiraz Mouvedre (GSM) 4. 2018 Adelaide Hills Fumé Blanc 5. 2019 Adelaide Hills Fiano 6. 2017 McLaren Vale S3 Shiraz Quick summary: The Shiraz is very good. Really good, it delivers a complex but delicate approach with a few years under its belt. The tempranillo from this winery is one of my favourite wines, 2019 vintage does not disappoint. For $20 it is a steal. The two whites are completely different from lets say, the usual whites I drink. Their style and taste are such a pleasure to drink and both are now on my radar. The GSM is a grenache focused dream. And only because someone has to finish last, the S3 Shiraz, but there is no failure in coming last in this race. 🍷 So how successful was this virtual cellar door? This one is an easy answer, I have bought a selection of the Tempranillo, GSM, Shiraz and their premium grenache, which wasn't part of the pack, but if their $20 wine is this good, imagine how good the $50 stuff is...simple... #wines #winetime #love #australianwine #wine #mclarenvale #cellar #cellardoor #virtualcellardoor #cellar #winetasting #winebox
