Dos Lusiadas Pinteivera Tinto 2014

Region: Portugal

  "On the nose, powerful dark fruit show at first, along with some “garrigue” and spicy notes. Aromas of macerated fruit (cherries, prunes) can also be detected, underpinned by mineral notes (graphite) that bring a great deal of...

Tronquoy-Lalande Saint-Estephe 2014

Region: France- Bordeaux Left Bank

  "A more elegant, refined bouquet compared to its peers, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar, iodine and violets.  The palate is medium-bodied with a ferrous opening, and the tannins are a bit drier than I would have liked, though...

  "Tahbilk has some 28 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon planted on the Estate with the oldest vines dating back to 1949. Made utilising traditional Tahbilk techniques; fermentation takes place in 150 year old open vats, before maturation in...

Hollick Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "This is a wine of substantial pedigree, indelibly marked by the menthol, piercing currant and firm, wiry tannins of the region. The fruit is generous, judiciously ripe and not excessive. The oak, too, is handled with aplomb following partial...

Hardys Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Region: SA-(Other)
Sustainably-made

  "The bouquet provides a perfect idea of what is abut to follow on the full-bodied palate: towering blackcurrant fruit with bay leaf, black olive and earth all dripping from the fruit where they meet implacable tannins and a poultice of French oak...

Toolangi Reserve Shiraz 2014

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Sustainably-made

  "Made at Dominique Portet from a low yield, open-fermented, wild yeast, matured for 18 months in French oak (50% new). Significantly more powerful than its siblings, with blackberry and black cherry fruit held in the arms of high quality cedary...

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Sustainably-made

Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2014

Region: South Africa

  "One of the great sweet wines of world, this is utterly delicious with a perfect balance of tension and succulence. Gently-spiced rich lemon meets lime zest and zinging minerality, along with soft white pepper notes that help to elongate the...

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...

Moppity Hilltops Reserve Shiraz 2014

Region: ACT (Canberra)

  "The colour is perfect, the bouquet full of black fruit promise, but it is the immediacy and intensity of the attack of the fruit on the palate that leaves no doubt that the winemaking team was given full discretion on the cut-off point for...

Lethbridge Allegra Chardonnay 2014 Museum Release

Region: VIC- Geelong

  "Released from Lethbridge's cellar with 10 years bottle maturation. Sourced from the ultra low yielding Rebenburg vineyard at Mount Duneen, the tiny volume of grapes are handpicked, whole bunch pressed to ferment naturally in new oak, with 15...

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...

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,...

Penfolds Magill Shiraz 2014

Region: SA-(Other)

   "Medium deep colour. Intense dark plum, blackberry, praline aromas with savoury, malt, mocha oak complexity. Densely concentrated dark plum, blackberry fruit with praline, malt, espresso oak notes, fine plentiful grainy tannins and...

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,...

Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  “This release is very much in the established Filsell style, but it’s a better rendition of it than we’ve seen from recent vintages. This is rich, plush, dark and hearty, all of which you’d expect from Filsell, but...

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...

Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot 2014

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