Pio Cesare Barolo Mosconi DOCG 2019

Region: Italy - Barolo

  This is so curated and fine, with a tannin structure that is both sophisticated and racy. Medium to full body. Silky texture with a finish that just takes off. Rose stems and dark fruit, such as plums and strawberries. Some black...

Produttori del Barbaresco Don Fiorino Riserva 2016

Region: Italy - Barbaresco
Vegan-friendly

  "Incredible aromas of white truffle, wet earth, lightly burnt orange peel and pure fruit. Medium-bodied and very compact with a block of silky tannins that run through the palate with a gorgeous texture. It is very drinkable now but will age...

Henschke Mount Edelstone 2021 Gift Box

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

  "Lovely intense raspberry, blackberry pastille, hint mocha aromas with herb garden/ sage notes. Pure and inky textured with superb raspberry pastille, blackberry fruits, persistent fine slinky/ brambly textures and underlying grilled nut, vanilla...

Chateau Certan De May Pomerol 2012

Region: France- Bordeaux Right Bank

  "From proprietress Odette Barrau-Badar, this vineyard has produced a 2012 with a dark plum/purple color. There is often considerable Cabernet Franc in this blend, and I think that comes through in this wine with its notes of forest floor, earth...

Penfolds RWT 2020

Region: SA-(Other)

Renato Ratti Barolo Rocche 2020

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "A very fine and polished Barolo with lots of orange peel and sliced dried strawberry. Medium body with solid and linear tannins that run through the center palate. Very structured. The lighter color is slightly off-putting but it shows structure...

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2019

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "Come from the original 1868 plantings, which is quite something. Black and blue fruit, hazelnut, seaweed, a little nougat and spice. It’s blue fruited, quite dense and firm, but also a little salty, with a fine chew to tannin, savoury...

Fontodi Flaccianello Della Pieve 2019

Region: Italy - Other
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stunning wine that sums up the character of the vintage and reflects the sun-drenched beauty of its quintessentially Tuscan surroundings. Giovanni Manetti and his team have two new important wines in...

Luciano Sandrone Aleste Barolo 2018

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "Made with fruit from Cannubi Boschis, the Luciano Sandrone 2018 Barolo Aleste is plump and ripe, but this wine also shows a more delicate character that is its ace card. The aromas are filigreed and fine with dark fruit, spice and licorice. The...

Renato Ratti Barolo Conca 2017

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "The 2017 Barolo Conca is laced with the essence of dark cherry, menthol, licorice, lavender, cloves and leather. Ample and deep, yet also super-classic, the 2017 Conca is incredibly harmonious in the early going. Even in this warm, dry...

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2017 1500mL-Magnum (Minor Damaged Label)

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "Come from the original 1868 plantings, which is quite something. Black and blue fruit, hazelnut, seaweed, a little nougat and spice. It’s blue fruited, quite dense and firm, but also a little salty, with a fine chew to tannin, savoury and...

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...

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...

Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz 2017

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

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...

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,...

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,...

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...

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,...
