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...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Strong release from arguably ‘the’ stalwart, premier cabernet of Coonawarra. It’s set to 13.4% alcohol, restraint, finesse from 2015. I remember when I remembered that these wines were bold, big, power and presence orientated,...

Best's Great Western Bin 0 Shiraz 2016

Region: VIC- Great Western

    "Quite lush and ripe fruited, shows sweet, rich berry fruit characters, suggestions of milk chocolate, pretty violet and ‘floral’ notes and comes with a sheen of sweet, nougat oak. There’s depth to the medium-to-full...

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...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "As the Reserve, this wine has the right to flex extract, concentration and muscle across some oakier ribs. And yet, Balnaves' finely hewn grape tannins-all pulpy and chewy-along with a proclivity toward refinement over excess, keeps it all in...

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  

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,...

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2016

Region: VIC- Grampians

  "Beautiful perfume, silky medium weight, touches of spice and herbal detail, bright red berry fruit spectrum and a fine dusting of pepper. It’s a really lovely wine, glorious for its texture, brilliant for its length and elegance, though...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "The fitting capstone to what was a terrific vintage for Clarendon Hills, the 2015 Astralis Syrah is destined to become a McLaren Vale legend. Remarkably precise, complex and pristine aromas of anise, pepper, mint and blueberries lead the way...

Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot 2017

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

  "Like all of Cullen's top reds, this Bordeaux-style blend—made from the winery's home block of biodynamically farmed fruit—is still a baby. Its youth is particularly pronounced in a cool vintage like 2017, but with time to open up, it...

Wild Duck Creek Springflat Shiraz 2016

Region: VIC- Heathcote
Sustainably-made

"Big, heady, dark and powerful red wine. Scents of clove, mint, cocoa powder, ripe plums. Supple, soft, decadent in the palate, molten tannins that pucker to close, a heady, rich, charismatic wash of chewy, dark plummy fruit, sweetness, ground nuts and...

Noon Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

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

  "Gentle mint notes on the nose give the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve a lifted, almost floral character. Combined with cherry and cassis fruit, it's clear that this is Cabernet, albeit very ripe, full-bodied Cabernet, with a supple, almost...

Penfolds RWT 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Glass-staining dense purple colour, with terrific saturation. It's very rich and ripe, concentrated and profound to sniff, but surprisingly less oaky than anticipated. The wine is massive and dense, full-bodied and powerful, tightly-packed and...

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2014

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "A deeply flavoured and exotically spiced shiraz whose peppery, floral bouquet of pristine blackcurrants, mulberries and dark plums has a musky, cedary background and a hint of earthiness. Medium to full-bodied, it’s long and luscious,...

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2012

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Over the years a flag bearer for Saltram in vintages where its power and intensity are matched by its complexity, 2012 being such a vintage. The colour is that of a 1yo, and the complex array of black fruits are welded to the oak and tannins."...

Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2008

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

"Deep garnet-black colored, the 2008 Stonewell Shiraz presents relatively youthful notes of warm black plums, blackcurrant cordial and crushed blueberries over licorice, chocolate box and yeast extract. Full bodied, ripe, rich and expressive in the...
