Domaine Derey Fixin Premier Cru Les Hervelets 2021

Felton Road MacMuir Pinot Noir 2023

Region: NZ- Central Otago
Vegan-friendly Organic Biodynamic Sustainably-made

  "A distinctive nose that is deeply fruited, very integrated and with its own distinctive story - characteristic of the first few bottlings from MacMuir. The palate also comes over as typically bold: deep, distinguished, but urging that it wants...

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2022

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeBeaune
Organic Biodynamic

  "A powerful mid purple, with a bouquet to match. All in dark berry fruit but with a slightly muscular quality. Much more generous on the palate, fills out extremely well, covering the framework. Perfectly judged oaking too.” - Jasper...

Standish Schubert Theorum Shiraz 2022

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "I'm excited to taste this, as it was my favorite cuvée last year. It usually changes year to year, given the seasons, and I like that. It's usually the only cuvée to enjoy the benefits of an alternate vessel—a concrete...

Latour-Giraud Pommard Cuvee Carmen 2021

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeBeaune

  "Excellent limpid ruby color. Fresh if somber aromas include those of forest floor, red currant, dark cherry and a hint of the sauvage. I very much like the texture of the equally polished and sleek medium-bodied flavors that also flash evident...

Jean Tardy Fixin La Place 2021

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeNuits

  "Ripe, fresh and cool aromas include those of spiced plum, newly turned earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The rich, succulent and generous medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality that provides a sense of lift to the youthfully austere,...

Taupenot-Merme M. Gevrey-Chambertin 2021

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeNuits

  “This is also relatively elegant and cool with its combination of wild red cherry, sauvage and discreet spice whiffs. The precise and almost lilting middleweight flavors possess a lovely sense of tension while displaying fine length on the...

Swinney Farvie Grenache 2022

Region: WA- Great Southern
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "The power and concentration of the vineyard and the style is immediately evident. The intensity strikes immediately on the nose, while once the wine starts to roll across your palate you know you in a head zone of great power. It was a warm and...

La Pousse d'Or Perriere Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 2020

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeNuits

  "A decidedly earthier and more sauvage-inflected nose reflects very fresh notes of poached plum and wild dark cherries. The delicious, vibrant and attractively textured flavors are on the lighter side though I quite like the firm but fine-grained...

Giovanni Rosso Barolo Serra 2019

  "The dense tannins supporting the balsamic weave of Barolo Serra Giovanni Rosso are now recognizable on the palate by critics around the world, despite the small dimensions of the cru, a niche relegated to the most refined drinkers. A structured,...

Elderton Ashmead Cabernet 2020

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

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,...

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,...

Swinney Farvie Syrah 2021

Region: WA-(Other)
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "The 2021 Farvie Syrah is lighter and finer than the Mourvèdre, yet it is darker in the glass and more mouthfilling. I suppose, in some ways, the flavor profile here is more expected, yet the tannic structure of the thing is more refined...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Blackcurrants, dry cassis characters, malt and truffle-like savoury notes, cedar and woody spice overlaid. There’s a seriousness and authority to the wine, it stands up in the glass in full dress uniform and attention. Lots of seasoning,...

Schild Estate Moorooroo Shiraz 2013
