| "Larry Cherubino has had a particularly distinguished winemaking career, first at Hardys Tintara, then Houghton, and thereafter as consultant/Flying Winemaker in Australia, NZ, South Africa, the US and Italy. In 2005 he started Larry Cherubino Wines, and has since developed three ranges: at the top Cherubino (Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon); next The Yard, five single vineyard wines from WA; and at the bottom another five wines under the Ad Hoc label, all single region wines. As expected, the quality is exemplary.
Tight and refined from the word go; intertwined lime juice and mineral run through the long palate; very good acid balance. From Whispering Hill Vineyard. 11.7º alc. Rating 94 Drink 2016 Date Tasted Jan 08." James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion. | |
