SC Pannell Koomilya GT Block Shiraz 2019

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

  "There’s a freshness and lift to the wine despite the concentration and layering of dark fruit, woody spice and general inkiness. The character of gewurz seems omnipresent despite no gewurz here – it’s floral and pretty shiraz,...

SC Pannell Koomilya DC Block Shiraz 2019

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

  "It’s highly perfumed, so rich and ripe, inky plummy fruit characters, brined black olive and a strong overlay of cedar, mahogany and clove. The palate is similarly generous and rich, plush and impenetrable, tightens on train tracks of...

Yeringberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Blackcurrant, blackberry, some toasty oak and tobacco, with firmness and chew to tannin and texture, less svelte and charming than the blend, more guttural and weighty, with brisk blackberry acidity and a long grainy finish. Charismatic." - Gary...

Produttori del Barbaresco Pora Riserva 2017

Region: Italy - Barbaresco
Vegan-friendly

  "The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is usually the first wine I taste each year when I review this set of Riservas from Produttori del Barbaresco. That's because it usually appears as the most delicate, and the intensity of each successive bottle...

Hickinbotham The Peake Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2020

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

  "Ink black at the core to a deeply-tinted ruby-red rim. A rich and complex nose, mixed berries and oak spices lift from the glass. Voluminous and weighty, the fruit concentration is impressive yet doesn't fall into the jammy spectrum. Equally,...

Kay Brothers Block 6 Shiraz 2019

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

  "Liquorice, chocolate, oyster shell, blackberry, a little mint, spice and nutty oak. Deep and concentrated, intense and layered dark fruit and black olive, firm ironstone tannin, such depth and heft, but not really heavy, as such. It’s...

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Vegan-friendly

  "Medium deep colour, Fragrant and evolved blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar/cigar box, hint tobacco leaf aromas with vanilla, toasted almond, Turkish Delight notes. Well concentrated palate with plentiful blackcurrant, blackberry mulberry fruits,...

Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Shiraz 2019

Region: VIC- Grampians
Sustainably-made

  "Very deep, concentrated red/purple colour, youthful and bright. The bouquet is powerful and high-impact, it bounces out of the glass, with pepper-spice and graphite, ironstone and blackberry aromas, while the flavour is intense and focused,...

Chateau de Nages Vox Rouge Costieres de Nimes AOC 2017

Region: France- Rhone Valley Southern
Organic Sustainably-made

  "The 2017 Costières Des Nîmes VOX is another brilliant wine from this estate, and my money is on it being one of the greatest wines to emerge from the appellation. Based on 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Mourvèdre that saw...

Hardys Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Region: SA-(Other)
Sustainably-made

  "The bouquet provides a perfect idea of what is abut to follow on the full-bodied palate: towering blackcurrant fruit with bay leaf, black olive and earth all dripping from the fruit where they meet implacable tannins and a poultice of French oak...

Croix Canon St Emilion Grand Cru 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Right Bank

  "The 2016 Croix Canon is a blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc this year and matured in 25% new oak. It has a very precise bouquet with blackcurrant, touches of blueberry and subtle mineral aromas, gaining intensity as it opens in the...

Yangarra Ironheart Shiraz 2018

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

  "Squid-ink-purple colour, scents of plush boysenberry, balsamic flowers and coffee. A rush of flavour, sweet red and black cherries, bacon fat, dried herbs and vanilla bean cradled by a full-body with svelte tannins. Showcasing flavour...

Einaudi Barolo Bussia DOCG 2016

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "Deepish red colour with purple tints and touch of brick-red. The bouquet is strong on dried herbs and straw, very savoury and non-fruity, the palate confirming this style in an emphatic way. Traces of meat-stock, dried porcini...

Hardys Eileen Hardy Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Sustainably-made

  "This old vine cuvee has spent 17 months in new French oak and shows it. Rich. Flamboyant. Manicured. And yet the clench of cedary oak, firm. This needs time for the violet, boysenberry, kirsch and sash of black olive, anise and cracked pepper to...

Woodlands Clementine Eloise Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: WA- Margaret River
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "It made for a challenging assignment when I had to choose just one wine to be my wine of the year in my annual West Australian Wine Guide 2020. In the end I came down with the Woodlands, which I have to say has claims to be finest yet in this...

Yangarra Kings Wood Shiraz 2021 1500mL-Magnum

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

    "Dark, inky and really opaque and youthful in the glass. Evocative aromas of mulberry, rhubarb, satsuma plum, licorice, char and spice. Rich, mouth-filling and plush on the palate, oodles of dark fruits, spice and creamy oak. A powerful...

Houghton Jack Mann 2019

Region: WA-(Other)

Segla by Chateau Rauzan Margaux 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Left Bank
Organic

  "Racy and inviting, all qualities found in the Grand Vin, but naturally on a smaller scale. Silky tannins and soft, pliant, red-toned fruit all add to the wine's early appeal. There is so much to like in this expressive, open-knit second wine...

Yarra Yering Dry Red No 1 2020

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  **Highly Limited. Only 2 per customer**    "The cool 2020 season presents as summer berry fruits with some bay leaf adding a background herbal lift. Mixed spice and a whisper of oak; all in balance. Beautiful fruit, a bright acid...
