Wine: Tomfoolery Trouble & Strife Rosé 2020
Grape: Cabernet Franc
Region: Margaret River
Price: $21.99
Score: 87 Points – Tom
Appearance: Pale Salmon, very light
Aroma: Raspberry & light rose petal flowers. There is some very light spice, unsure what it is, will see if I can find on the palate.
Palate: STRAWBERRY STRAWBERRY STRAWBERRY STRAWBERRY STRAWBERRY STRAWBERRY. Did someone say strawberry, I think there’s some strawberry here? What’s that? Oh yeah it’s strawberry! Also a little bit of rose petal florals and very light vanilla spice (that’s right I figured it out)!
Review: A Crisp, dry and very refreshing rosé! There is some serious strawberry flavours which dominate the palate, and they are very tasty indeed. This is going to be a summertime delight! – Tom

Wine: Moss Wood 2018 Pinot Noir
Region: Margaret River
Price: $79.99
Score: 96 Points – Tom
Appearance: Medium Ruby
Aroma: There’s a lot to unpack here! Black fruits & strawberry jam come to mind first! Earthiness at the back adding to the complexity with a little bit of oak.
Palate: Larger bodied pinot, medium to full bodied. Bright strawberry with seemingly mushroom on the back, with a little toasty oak. Light tannins, with a good amount acidity that seems to hold the wine together well!
Review: A great fruit dominant pinot that drinks phenomenally now. This is a pinot lovers dream. It will also seriously reward long term cellaring (+ 10 years). If you feel like a real treat, this is hard to pass. The scarcity of the wine alone represents just how good it is! Such small yields reap such rich wines!
