Lake's Folly White Label Cabernets 2019

Mitolo Savitar Shiraz 2017

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly

  INTENSE AND POWERFUL SHIRAZ MADE BY CULT FAVOURITE WINEMAKER BEN GLAETZER!   "Sourced from a lower-yielding section of the same vineyard as the GAM Shiraz and matured in 100% new oak, the 2017 Savitar Shiraz is tighter and more...

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2018

Region: Australia-(Other)

  "It’s once again from Tasmania, the Adelaide Hills and Tumbarumba regions. It saw 60% new French oak for eight months. What it lacks in flamboyance it makes up for in finesse. This offers all the complexities you could ever want but if the...

Penfolds RWT 2018

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Barossa Valley shiraz. French oak. 64% of the oak is new though all of it is a year old at most. This is also titled Bin 798. I’d imagine that this is French oak as coopered in Australia, rather than the absolute real deal, though...

Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz 2017

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

  "It’s the flagship red wine for Tyrrell’s, and a partner to Vat 1. I suspect sometimes it misses the attention these days, with the clamour and glamour of the ‘Sacred Site’ reds. Purple fruit, violet and vanilla, great...

Hardys Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Region: Australia-(Other)
Sustainably-made

  “70% Coonawarra, 27% Margaret River and 3% McLaren Vale, a blend Roger Warren would have been proud of. Margaret River contributes cassis, herbs and spices; Coonawarra an elusive touch of mint, olives and acidity; McLaren Vale a hint of...

Felton Road Block 1 Riesling 2021

Region: NZ- Central Otago
Vegan-friendly Organic Biodynamic Sustainably-made

  "Luscious tropical fruit flavours remind me of a visit to the Tropical Nursery at Kew Gardens. That heady scent mingles with sharper citrus and mineral notes and lingers long after the wine has been swallowed. An ethereal texture and exquisite...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Sustainably-made

"Deep crimson. Beautiful classic Barossa Shiraz with intense dark plum, praline, paneforte aromas and roasted chestnut, wax polish, chinotto notes. Richly concentrated and vigorous with abundant dark plum, blackberry, mulberry fruits, fine plentiful...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2018

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "A magnificent Tally. The fruit has a great depth of flavour and the X-factor that any Reserve should. Deep and fragrant, with a brightness of fruit not always obvious in this flagship. Coffee grounds and dark chocolate, studded with mint and...

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Striking colour; deep and pure, intense to the edge. Rich, black fruit aromas jump from the glass, with spicy oak playing a supporting role. It's power is more fully felt on the palate, where deep layers of flavour vie for attention with the...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2017

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

  "The 2017 Astralis Syrah is a very fine wine. It is not a big wine. Perhaps its reputation for being a big, extracted wine is a misnomer these days. It has intention and drive and clarity and length—and the length of flavor is so long that...

Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Syrah 2017

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "Complex and fresh. There’s plenty here on the palate with ripe plums, blueberries and blackberries, all smoothly honed, neatly folded and carried long by the tannins. Intense blueberry flavour. Really impressive depth and drive here. So...

Grosset Gaia Cabernets 2019

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

  "Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (15%). 5000 bottles produced. Black fruit, raspberry, cedar, with some violet and a little mint and dried herb. Medium-bodied, intense small dark berries, but with perfume, a graphite feel and pencils...

Chateau de Nages JT Rouge Costieres de Nimes AOC 2017

Region: France- Rhone Valley Southern
Organic Sustainably-made

  "The top cuvée is the 2017 Costières De Nîmes JT, which is mostly Syrah blended with around 5% of Mourvèdre. It’s a more serious, concentrated, age -worthy wine that has a deep purple color, notes of black fruits,...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Blackcurrants, dry cassis characters, malt and truffle-like savoury notes, cedar and woody spice overlaid. There’s a seriousness and authority to the wine, it stands up in the glass in full dress uniform and attention. Lots of seasoning,...

Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

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

  "A realisation of a dream seeded by Rob’s Grandfather, Jack Mann, a departure from the orthodox, to achieve a unique expression of Margaret River Cabernet. Variety, place and experience are woven together to redefine what’s possible...

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...

G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco Delle Viole 2017 DOCG

Region: Italy - Barolo

    "The 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is classy and elegant to the core. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2017 captures all of the finesse of this site. Naturally, the 2017 also shows the ripeness of the year, but it retains...

Two Hands Aphrodite Cabernet 2015

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

  "With only a few barrels selected, Aphrodite is derived from our best low yielding Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard sites and showcases its varietal hallmarks of blackcurrant and mineral. From tiny berries, the concentration of flavours is slowly...
