Yangarra High Sands Grenache 2021

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

  "Raspberry, Turkish Delight and Chinese five spice aromatics. Palate is seamless and silken: red fruits, exotic spices, dry earth and rose petals all flow across the palate, all entwined with a fine net of acidity and tannin that lifts and drives...

Yarra Yering Carrodus Shiraz 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Perfumed with blue and black plum fruits with a hint of cured meat. The palate has beautiful density of fruit, liquorice and a slate-graphite minerality. A wonderful season with plenty of hang time for fruit to gain flavour density but retain an...

Henschke Mount Edelstone 2019

Region: SA- Eden Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Biodynamic Sustainably-made

  "Deep, dark dense red-black-purple colours in the glass, the bouquet evokes dried herbs, hot days under a eucalypt forest canopy, complete with underbrush. Very full-bodied, solidly structured and profoundly flavoured, with masses of...

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...

Maggie Hawk Afleet Pinot Noir 2018

Region: USA-(Other)

  "Wonderful breadth, depth, and personality in spades. Afleet incorporates three distinct blocks and whole cluster fermentation to craft a wine with lifted oral notes and pleasantly rustic tannins. Orange blossom and jasmine meld with honeydew,...

Yarra Yering Carrodus Pinot Noir 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Bright crimson colour. Rose petals and cherry fruits. Highly aromatic with some oak adding a vanilla sweetness. An elegant and silky fruit profile, cherry-soft, the palate is silky, seamless and expansive. Some graphite and oak spice lend a fine...

Yarra Yering Carrodus Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Blackcurrant fruits, iodine interest, bay leaf lift, a wonderful energy, fruit purity and precision. A youthful wine with vibrant acidity, fruit volume, a ripe and fine tannin framework that supports the fruit intensity. Fruit sourced from the...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2019

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Sustainably-made

Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1988

Region: USA- California- Napa Valley

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2020

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "It's hard to know what more one could ask from this wine. The fruit in the 2020 Astralis Syrah shows rippling prowess—albeit a little frisky at this early stage in its life—polish and intensity that reverberates in the mouth. It has...

Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "It’s all Coonawarra, it’s all Cabernet Sauvignon and it’s all French oak. The herb notes come straight at you but then the fruit, wow the fruit, it’s a surging wave. Blackcurrant, mint and woodsmoke in pure, commanding,...

Yarra Yering Pinot Noir 2021 1500mL-Magnum

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Red cherry fruits, violets, campari and a side of cured meat. Red cherry fruits dominate the palate with a pinch of Chinese five spice for complexity. A silky elegance combined with a fine tannin structure, enhanced by some inclusion of bunches...

Mount Mary Quintet 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Sustainably-made

  "45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot. All the good things. I tasted a 2021 Coleraine the other day, and in many ways, this wine echoes that one. And last year I opened an 18 MM alongside an 18...

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...

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2019

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "Come from the original 1868 plantings, which is quite something. Black and blue fruit, hazelnut, seaweed, a little nougat and spice. It’s blue fruited, quite dense and firm, but also a little salty, with a fine chew to tannin, savoury...

Jean Luc Jamet Cote-Rotie Les Terraces 2019

Region: France- Rhone Valley Northern

    "The star of the show is the 2019 Côte Rôtie Terrasses, which can thought of as a hypothetical mix of the 2017 and 2018, with perhaps a nod to the 2017. Both red and black fruits, peppery herbs, dried flowers, graphite, and a...

Chateau La Grave Pomerol 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Right Bank

  "Rich and concentrated black cherry is joined by raspberry puree, liquorice, tobacco and soft leather. This is a beautiful Pomerol, where the tannins are vibrant but you barely notice them until they hold you back from leaving, seatbelts holding...

Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Shiraz 2018

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "Greenock Creek's Shiraz Roennfeldt Road lives up to its reputation in 2018 and delivers a rich experience. While immense in concentration, it combines with youthful vibrancy, making for a killer package. It opens with a dark heart of chocolate,...

Giovanni Rosso Barolo Serra 2019

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "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,...

Pio Cesare Barolo Mosconi DOCG 2019

Region: Italy - Barolo

  This is so curated and fine, with a tannin structure that is both sophisticated and racy. Medium to full body. Silky texture with a finish that just takes off. Rose stems and dark fruit, such as plums and strawberries. Some black...
