All Saints Durif 2013 Museum Release

Region: VIC- Rutherglen

  "Young Rutherglen Durif is sometimes fearsome with its wall of grippy tannin and full body. With time, the tannin evens out and the wine becomes its best, especially enjoyed with a helping of flavoursome food (Winter stews or roasts are ideal)...

Ulithorne Paternus Cabernet Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

   "This wine exhibits a beautifully deep crimson colour alongside plentiful aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry, and mulberry on the nose. The palate is bursting with ripe dark fruit such as plum and juicy blackberry, which are complemented by...

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2017

Region: Australia-(Other)

  "Fantastic wine, no two ways about it. It’s not a big wine. It doesn’t need to be. It shows off pepper, plum, clove and graphite characters and it threads woodsmoke and cured meat characters throughout. It’s fresh but...

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Substantial red wine and such a smooth operator. All the plums and the pleasure. Chinese five spice, soy, crushed ants, curry leaves and kirsch. Oak plays a role, and an important one, but the fruit keeps pushing through it. Tannin folds like...

Glaetzer Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet 2018

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

96 POINTS - JAMES HALLIDAY!    Courses with energy, vitality and a seamless flow of fruit, spice, wood and minty-herbal detail. Feels quite pent up, tense in a way, though that yields in the palate with a lovely softness as you spend time...

Penfolds Bin 28 2017

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Well-balanced. Whirling black fruits and an oscillating shiraz disposition – Bin 28 by any other name, personality intact. Flavours akin to a consommé of dried porcini mushrooms; structurally embedded with grainy/sandy tannins...

Best's Great Western Bin 0 Shiraz 2016

Region: VIC- Great Western

    "Quite lush and ripe fruited, shows sweet, rich berry fruit characters, suggestions of milk chocolate, pretty violet and ‘floral’ notes and comes with a sheen of sweet, nougat oak. There’s depth to the medium-to-full...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "As the Reserve, this wine has the right to flex extract, concentration and muscle across some oakier ribs. And yet, Balnaves' finely hewn grape tannins-all pulpy and chewy-along with a proclivity toward refinement over excess, keeps it all in...

Teusner Albert Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Steps up and delivers the goods. Slashing shiraz. Ripped with blue and black berries and hugged tight by sweet, smoky, cedary oak. Tannin is all class. Nothing about this shiraz disappoints, everything about it impresses." - Halliday  

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2016

Region: VIC- Grampians

  "Beautiful perfume, silky medium weight, touches of spice and herbal detail, bright red berry fruit spectrum and a fine dusting of pepper. It’s a really lovely wine, glorious for its texture, brilliant for its length and elegance, though...

Noon Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "Gentle mint notes on the nose give the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve a lifted, almost floral character. Combined with cherry and cassis fruit, it's clear that this is Cabernet, albeit very ripe, full-bodied Cabernet, with a supple, almost...

John Duval Entity Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "Deep red/purple colour, with a bouquet of smoky charred oak barrels, the palate full-bodied and rich, with ample chocolate and vanilla, toasty oak and a hint of coffee grounds. There are fruitcake flavours on the palate, which is...

Penfolds Bin 28 2015

Region: SA-(Other)

  "McLaren Vale, the Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Robe all make contributions to this “Kalimna” shiraz. It’s a strange world. It spends 12 months in American oak, none of it new. A resiny introduction. Meat,...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2015

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "Deep, dark and foreboding in the glass, lovely colour. Aromatics of plums, mulberries, chocolate, vanilla and a bit of cedar and tobacco, there's a lot going on here. The palate is all deep, dark and not so mysterious. There's blackberry,...

d'Arenberg Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

"The vineyard runs alongside Coppermine Road and rarely crops above one tonne per acre. The grapes are “basket pressed and transferred to a mixture of new and used French oak barriques to complete fermentation.” There’s a sweetness to the fruit. This...

Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  “This release is very much in the established Filsell style, but it’s a better rendition of it than we’ve seen from recent vintages. This is rich, plush, dark and hearty, all of which you’d expect from Filsell, but...

Ulithorne Paternus Cabernet Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

  "This wine exhibits a beautifully deep crimson colour alongside plentiful aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry, and mulberry on the nose. The palate is bursting with ripe dark fruit such as plum and juicy blackberry, which are complemented by pepper...

Petaluma Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2010

Region: SA- Coonawarra

96 POINTS - GOURMET TRAVELLER!    "As always pairs cabernet sauvignon with merlot. I found a very attractive, fragrant bouquet of red fruits, particularly raspberry, with oak and cedary bottle-age all nicely melded. Peter Bourne agreed,...

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2014

Region: VIC- Grampians

Lindemans St George Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Region: SA- Coonawarra

    Deep, bright, red/purple colour. Good freshness and intensity of cassis-like cabernet fruit; clean and true to the grape. The palate is elegantly weighted and tidy, with ample firm but ripe tannins and a clean finish which displays...
