Penfolds RWT 2017

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "This walks in and takes over the joint. Sweetness, smokiness, creaminess, long chains of tannin, a general swagger. It’s a prime wine, alpha, smooth as silk but hulked up too. All its doubts are ahead of it; for now, it has none. It has to...

Best's Great Western Bin 0 Shiraz 2017

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "This has an array of wild red berries with a gently creamy edge to the palate that carries long, plush and silky tannin in a fine, precise style. Salty mineral kick at the finish. Drink now." James Suckling   "Sweaty, meaty, reductive...

Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz 2016

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

  "A gleaming chassis of redcurrant, satsuma plum, Chinese herb and the Hunter's signature whiff of creamy leather, are driven by cylinders of high quality French oak (2700l casks, 15 months), gentle acidity and firm tannins of a ferrous...

Moppity Hilltops Reserve Shiraz 2014

Region: ACT (Canberra)

  "The colour is perfect, the bouquet full of black fruit promise, but it is the immediacy and intensity of the attack of the fruit on the palate that leaves no doubt that the winemaking team was given full discretion on the cut-off point for...

Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz 2017

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

SC Pannell Old McDonald Grenache 2018

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

  "The old aphorism that says McLaren Vale Grenache is like Burgundy holds some merit, but in the safe and gifted hands of Steve Pannell, they come over more like Barbaresco. Powerful, insistently and delightfully tannic Grenache. It falls more to...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "Appetizing scents of roasted meat and cinnamon toast meet red raspberries and black cherries on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is densely concentrated and richly textured but closed, locked up by firm, dusty tannins that bar...

Larry Cherubino Shiraz 2015

Region: WA-(Other)

  "A bouquet of spices, crushed herbs, red berries and spicy oak. The palate has youthful and intense flavours of savoury plum and cherry with earthy tannins." – Larry Cherubino

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)...

Ulithorne Paternus Cabernet Shiraz 2015

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...

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2017

Region: Australia-(Other)

  "Fantastic wine, no two ways about it. It’s not a big wine. It doesn’t need to be. It shows off pepper, plum, clove and graphite characters and it threads woodsmoke and cured meat characters throughout. It’s fresh but...

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Substantial red wine and such a smooth operator. All the plums and the pleasure. Chinese five spice, soy, crushed ants, curry leaves and kirsch. Oak plays a role, and an important one, but the fruit keeps pushing through it. Tannin folds like...

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

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

  "The 2017 vintage was one of the milder vintages in WA. The latest Moss Wood captures this vintage perfectly and is without doubt one of the more restrained and tightly framed Moss Woods of recent years. Not the opulence of 2014 or the firm power...

Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot 2018

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

  Biodynamic, Organic & Vegan Friendly   "I've been waiting for this wine to be released, knowing how good the 2018 vintage was in Margaret River. In fact, it goes further than my lofty expectations. Super-concentrated deep...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

    “Deep crimson. Lovely pure blackcurrant elderberry herb garden aromas with hints of espresso/ roasted chestnut notes. Beautiful concentrated wine with blackcurrant elderberry chinotto herb flavours, fine-grained and plentiful yet...

Penfolds Bin 28 2017

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Well-balanced. Whirling black fruits and an oscillating shiraz disposition – Bin 28 by any other name, personality intact. Flavours akin to a consommé of dried porcini mushrooms; structurally embedded with grainy/sandy tannins...

Vasse Felix Tom Cullity Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2015

Region: WA- Margaret River
Organic Sustainably-made

78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot    “Has elements of the 2013 with the graceful lines of the 2015 vintage... Has a long, savoury structure, although the palate remains supple. Defined and poised in a classic cabernet...

Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "Torbreck's 2016 The Factor incorporates what winemaker Ian Hongell calls their "most structured Shiraz, from a lot of ironstone soils." It spends two years in French oak barriques, half of which were new, so it shows hints of cedar pencil...

Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2009

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

"Deep, dense, dark, youthful red/purple colour. The bouquet is super-ripe and borderline jammy. It's essency and has a liqueur-like aspect. Lots of oak and syrupy, sweet-fruited flavour. This will please the hedonists.. A whopper. It should age very well...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "Very deep colour, starting to show development in its hue but retaining a good amount of purple in the meniscus; the bouquet is very complex and mellow, earthy and dark-to-red fruited, the palate is full-bodied and firm with ample...
