Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2017

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

  "The 2017 Astralis Syrah is a very fine wine. It is not a big wine. Perhaps its reputation for being a big, extracted wine is a misnomer these days. It has intention and drive and clarity and length—and the length of flavor is so long that...

Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made
