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,...

Penfolds St Henri 2013

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...

Henschke Hill of Grace 2012

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

  "One of the great iterations of this regal single site wine. Very spicy, dried ground baking spices on the nose as well as dried sage leaves and other roasting herbs and a kind of wet chalky element too. Not the saturation and swagger of 2010 or...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2012

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "The sheer vibrancy and purity of fruit is nothing short of a marvel from these grand, dry grown 1867 vines planted by Henry Best himself. The 2012 is just the 13th release, precociously backward on release, promising a monumental future, yet so...
