    I would love to recommend this or any other Skye Cellars wine (never had a bad drop from them) but not having tasted this wine or anything from the vineyard it is hard to recommend. If at least a small number of SA people could taste the wine before the special is posted I would happily recommend it (favour profile pending). Perhaps you should recommend this to the the manager at Skye Cellars. i.e. setup a early bird club where a small number of people could have at least a taste before it's advertised.

    • Hi Gusper,
      Thank you for the feedback. I will be forwarding this to our managing director and see if we can do something similar to your suggestion. What I can personally say
      about this wine is that it is a great wine. We have sold this wine (same vintage) before and we have never had a single complaint. On the contrary we have had customers asking for more. That's the main reason we got it back in stock. About the vineyard: Blewitt Springs vineyards is one of the most acclaimed vineyards in McLaren Vale. And this Cabernet Sauvignon is a living proof of it. Plus we do offer full refunds. Even if you try a bottle and you don't like it we will offer a full refund on the wine.
