G.D. Vajra Barolo Coste di Rose 2017 DOCG

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "With fruit from higher-elevation vineyards in the village of Barolo, the 2017 Barolo Coste di Rose is quite elegantly downplayed and fragile. The wine reveals wild berry, cassis and lots of blue flower or lilac. A pretty mineral note recalls...

Yeringberg Shiraz 2018

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Shiraz 97%, Viognier 3%. The depth and character of the fruit that our Shiraz vineyard is now producing is a delight to see. Subtle, savoury and deep set, the 2018 Shiraz offers aromas of blueberry, black pepper and dark cherry, building weight...

Elderton Ashmead Cabernet 2017

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "The bouquet is rich and reserved and gently herbal, with earthy and ‘forest floor’ touches. The wine is full-bodied and loaded with flavour, the tannins bold and robust, with a touch of chewiness... it does deliver bang for your...

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)...

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 28 2018

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Deep crimson. Intense dark cherry, blackberry, graphite tarry aromas with mocha espresso notes. Dense blackberry pastille, dark cherry fruits, plentiful, vigorous fine muscular/ chalky tannins and mocha dark chocolate notes. Finishes brambly...

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...

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...

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...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "Cola, dried spices, menthol and blueberry notes all appear on the nose of the 2014 Astralis Syrah. A massive yet approachable wine, it's full-bodied and creamy-textured, with a rich, velvety finish that picks up awesome savory notes of anise,...

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...

Petaluma Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2010

Region: SA- Coonawarra

96 POINTS - GOURMET TRAVELLER!    "As always pairs cabernet sauvignon with merlot. I found a very attractive, fragrant bouquet of red fruits, particularly raspberry, with oak and cedary bottle-age all nicely melded. Peter Bourne agreed,...

Torbreck Struie Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

Vinous Media 93 points!“(17 percent new French oak; 15.5 percent alcohol) Lurid violet. A powerfully scented, complex bouquet evokes boysenberry, cherry preserves, licorice, five-spice powder and smoky minerals. Stains the palate with sweet black and...

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...

Tahbilk Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1992

Region: VIC- Nagambie Lakes

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2009

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Ripe plums, black olives and dark cherries complemented with hints of cocoa and anise. This full-bodied red wine has a velvety palate with an excellent line of fruit flavours, chalky tannins and a fine lingering finish. The palate is dense with...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2011

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "The deep garnet-purple 2011 Astralis offers a nose redolent of Christmas pudding, allspice, mocha and anise along with a lovely core of prunes, black cherry preserves and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with elegant,...

Mitolo Savitar Shiraz 2010

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly

    “Savitar” is a mythical dragon-like monster, and this wine is so named because of the impression Frank Mitolo and Ben Glaetzer had upon tasting one particular lot in the Willunga vineyard. They were so blown away they decided...
