Domaine A Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Region: TAS (Tasmania)

  "A remarkably long-lived vintage of an already long-lived wine, the 2013 is big, textural and voluptuous. The nose is intense and oak-driven: blackcurrant, caramelised rhubarb and tomato leaf lead under layers of warm tobacco and dark chocolate...

All Saints Pierre Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2013 Museum Release

Region: VIC- Rutherglen

  "The Bordeaux varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are excellently blended in to this medium bodied expression. Give this Pierre a good decant to unlock its aromatics. Spicy characters, cassis and red berry...

Region: SA- Coonawarra

Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Sustainably-made

  "Ripe plum, dark berries, a sort of musty, earthy character, black olive, dried olive, rosemary. Palate is more succulent but also pretty firm and dry, with adjunct, coffee ground tannins feeling outside the fruit core. Finishes gritty with...

Hardys Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Margaret River, Coonawarra. Full red-purple; a potent, powerful cabernet, the focus on blackcurrant fruit, complexity provided by bay leaf/black olive/mint nuances; French oak is where is should be (on the shoulder of the fruit) and the tannins,...

La Pleiade Shiraz 2013

Region: VIC- Heathcote

In spring 1998, Michel Chapoutier and Ron Laughton planted new vineyards on the Cambrian soils of Heathcote in Central Victoria under the biodynamic philosophy. Both were excited about the use of original Syrah cuttings taken from the hillside of Tain...

Petaluma Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2013 Evans Vineyard

Region: SA- Coonawarra

93+ POINTS - WINE FRONT! A 'top' Petaluma vintage!    "This Cabernet dominant wine is Coonawarra through and through. Black currant and plum are complemented by spice and black fruits, with cedar and abundant soft sandy tannins. Rich and...

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)...

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  

Schild Estate Moorooroo Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "Sourced from vines planted in 1847, this is a full-bodied, open-knit wine, supple and velvety in texture. Vanilla cream and black cherries mark the nose, while the flavors are more savory, resembling black olives and grilled meat. It's...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "The wine was fermented in a combination of stainless steel statics and traditional concrete open fermenters with header boards. Temperatures were allowed to reach 28C. Pump overs on the stainless-steel fermenters were performed four...

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...

Penfolds St Henri 2013

Region: SA-(Other)

“Deep, dense, dark red/purple colour. The bouquet is subdued and discreet, with fresh earth and discreet spice notes. The palate is where the fireworks really happen. Its silky smooth, supremely elegant and fruit-sweet within its casing of fine...

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...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "This has very complex aromas of exotic spices with graphite and dark plums, as well as black tea, iodine, white pepper and some redder plum, too. The palate has a striking level of concentration of rich red plums and blackberries. Super-fine,...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

    "Dense, powerful cabernet sauvignon with an array of dark fruits, cigar box, tobacco and subtle herb and spice notes supported by fine graphite-like tannins. The wine only hints at its potential and will need at least a decade before it...

Yeringberg Shiraz 2013 Museum Release

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Perhaps not surprisingly given our early experience with the variety in the 1970s, Shiraz has once again found a happy home in our vineyard. The 2013 vintage is a wine of depth, with lifted blue fruit, white pepper and intense aromatics...

Penfolds Bin 28 2013

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "An inky Shiraz, rich, dense and chewy with dark berry, liquorice and tar underpinned with spicy oak. Heroic wine that needs to be matched with fairly robust red meat dishes or allowed to age in bottle for at least a few years. Solidly structured...

Bindi Pyrette Heathcote Shiraz 2013

Region: VIC- Heathcote

  "Bindi takes his talents to Heathcote with Pyrette. Fragrant blackberries, vanilla, and liquorice. The palate builds intensity without the weightiness Aussie Shiraz is known for. It expands with sweet spice, red-earth, and an alluring dusty...
