Varieties

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,...

Yeringberg Shiraz 2014 Museum Release

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "A museum release at 10 years old. Vibrant purple red colour. Aromatically intense, some gamey secondary characters but also still has amazing dense, plummy  blue fruit and white pepper. Textually it is soft and rounded, with an intensity of...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2012

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  " The fruit for this wine has tremendous concentration and intensity, making Meshach a powerful, yet beautifully balanced wine.Winemaking with grapes from such old vines is kept simple. After crushing, the grapes were inoculated with yeast and...

Lindemans St George Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Region: SA- Coonawarra

    Deep, bright, red/purple colour. Good freshness and intensity of cassis-like cabernet fruit; clean and true to the grape. The palate is elegantly weighted and tidy, with ample firm but ripe tannins and a clean finish which displays...

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,...

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2010

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Intense release. Wealth of quality fruit and tannin. Carries a trademark coffeed toastiness but it doesn’t hammer the point; this wine is characterised by inky plum and dark earth flavour, and an impressive serving of it. Indeed it’s...

Henschke Hill of Grace 2012

Region: SA- Eden Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Biodynamic Sustainably-made

  "One of the great iterations of this regal single site wine. Very spicy, dried ground baking spices on the nose as well as dried sage leaves and other roasting herbs and a kind of wet chalky element too. Not the saturation and swagger of 2010 or...

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...

Best's Great Western Bin 0 Shiraz 2013

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "Depth, texture, balance and long sinewy length. Not much more need be said it's a cracking release with a fabulous future ahead of it. Cherries, boysenberries, plums, suggestions of fresh garden mint and slips of coffee. There's a seriousness to...

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...

Toolangi Reserve Shiraz 2006

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Complex wine. Gamey, stalky, peppery and autumnal – there isn’t a lot of sweet fruit here, but there is a lot to keep you interested. Fleshy and juicy and vibrant." - The Wine Front   "Toolangi Vineyard is a special site for...

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...

Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2015

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

  "The 2015 vintage exhibits all of that medal-winning capacity to age. When I first tasted it three years ago, I described it as an ugly duckling. Sure enough, the beautiful swan is now emerging, and when I tasted it again this month it is...

Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz 2013

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

Wine Front 96+ Points! "Forty-five year old vines. All French oak. This release streets the field. Some wines, even medium-bodied wines, just show us all how it’s done. Completely, cleanly, a whisper of nonchalance to the overt authority. The fold of...

Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot 2014

Region: WA- Margaret River

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...
