[SOLD-OUT] Wirra Wirra RSW Shiraz 2007

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

Campbell Mattinson 93 points! "Wirra Wirra's RSW Shiraz is named after Robert Strangways Wigley, which has to be one of the best names ever. Old Strangways played cricket for South Australia ... which got me thinking about my own cricketing career. In my...

[SOLD-OUT] PHI Lusatia Park Chardonnay 2008

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

Campbell Mattinson 92+ points!"It has a softness through the mid-palate and beautiful fragrance - green melon and grapefruit, brine and spice - with a clear-cut sense of fruit purity. Great length."Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Jul 2010 Nick Stock...

[SOLD-OUT] Katnook Estate Prodigy Shiraz 2006

Region: SA- Coonawarra

Gary Walsh 93 Points!"It's certainly not a wine for people who don't like oak, but there's balance here, which is the most important point - the fruit is matched (or up to) to the oak. So even if you'd rather have a bit less of it, it's more a question...

[SOLD-OUT] Yabby Lake Block 5 Pinot Noir 2008

Region: VIC- Mornington Pen

Campbell Mattinson 95 Points!"Purity. The calling card of this wine. It's gently reductive, cherried, dark and long, with terrific finesse (and tannin structure) through the finish. At this young stage it needs a few hours in the decanter. Its twiggy,...

[SOLD-OUT] Pegasus Bay Aria Late Picked Riesling 2008

Region: NZ- Canterbury

Five stars!"The wine shows ripe stone fruit characters suggestive of yellow fleshed peaches and apricots intertwined with hints of lychees, loquats and fresh figs. Honeysuckle and comb honey characters come from the botrytis. Underneath there are citrus...

[SOLD-OUT] Jacquesson Cuvee 734 N.V.

Region: France- Champagne

Campbell Mattinson 93 points!"This is a NV release but edition 734 mostly comes from the 2006 vintage. It's made with 54 percent chardonnay, 26 percent pinot meunier, and 20 percent pinot noir. Such a fragrant wine. Powerful, aldehydic, oxidative style...

[SOLD-OUT] Krug Clos d'Ambonnay 1996

Region: France- Champagne

-Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95+ Points!'Somewhat surprisingly, Krug presents the much-anticipated 1996 Blanc de Noirs Clos d'Ambonnay as the first wine in our tasting. This incredibly refined Champagne opens with a superb, well-delineated bouquet and...

[SOLD-OUT] Craggy Range The Quarry Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2008

Region: NZ- Hawkes Bay

Bob Campbell 93 Points!"Rich, ripe and very dense red in a moderately complex, mouth-filling style. Dark berry, spice, liquor ice and classy oak flavours. A wine with great potential. Top red that's only marginally outclassed by this label from the...

[SOLD-OUT] Ruinart 'R' de Ruinart N.V.

Region: France- Champagne

What's a long lunch without champagne? Boring, in my humble opinion. Champagne, or any good sparkling wine, can be more than an aperitif and, depending on the style, will match well with food. But I do love champagne to keep the palate lively between...

[SOLD-OUT] William Downie Petit Manseng 2009

Region: VIC- King Valley

"The juice was naturally fermented in barrel and stopped at 50 g/l residual sugar. Aromas of pear, apple, lime and caramelised pineapple. The palate shows honeydew melon, kiwi and toasted marshmallow with subtle notes of curry leaf and lemon verbena. The...

[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Cellar Reserve Cabernet 2006

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

96 POINTS - JEREMY OLIVER!    'Quite a surprise, and perhaps something of a Napa look-alike, this very stylish, velvet-smooth and charmingly balanced cabernet marries plush, dark and alluring cassis and dark berry-like fruit with fragrant...

[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Bin 08A Chardonnay 2008

Region: SA- Adelaide Hills

Tyson Stelzer 97 Points!"Penfolds Reserve Bin 08A Chardonnay is so far ahead of the pack that when it cleaned up every other Chardonnay to win three trophies " and then every other variety to win the best wine of show " at the National Wine Show last...

[SOLD-OUT] Magpie Estate The Malcolm Shiraz 2005

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

-Robert Parker 94-96 points!'Magpie's luxury cuvee (which was last produced in 1999), the 2005 Shiraz Malcolm, spent 12 months in new American oak and 12 months in new French 500 liter pungeons. This is the ultimate 200% new oak wine. Nevertheless, it...

[SOLD-OUT] Two Hands Samantha's Garden Shiraz 2008

Region: SA- Clare Valley

[SOLD-OUT] Luke Lambert Reserve Syrah 2008

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

Gary Walsh 94 points!"I'm not the biggest fan of cool climate Shiraz you'll meet, although I do like it well enough. There's 55 dozen of this made with grapes coming from ' the crest of the hill' block of the St Andrews vineyard - bunch selected at that...

[SOLD-OUT] R Wines The Wine Shiraz 2004

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Wine Advocate 99 points!"The Wine is presumably the vinous equivalent of The Band. Qualitatively they have much in common, competing at the summit of their respective categories. The Wine features a bar code for a label. It is a barrel selection as well...

[SOLD-OUT] R Wines JP Belle Terroir Shiraz 2004

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Robert Parker 96+ points!"It will be interesting to see what the price will be for this 260-case cuvee (from an 80-year-old vineyard) fashioned by the impressive trio of Dan Philips, Trevor Jones, and Chris Ringland. A single vineyard Shiraz from the...

[SOLD-OUT] R Wines Evil Incarnate Shiraz 2004

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Wine Advocate 94 points!"In another galaxy is the 2004 Evil Incarnate Shiraz, a wine sourced from 40-80-year-old vines from the Hoffman Vineyard in the Ebenezer sub-region of the Barossa. It was aged for 36 months in French oak hogsheads. It has a...

[SOLD-OUT] Clover Hill Pinot Chardonnay 2005

Region: TAS (Tasmania)

Jeremy Oliver 92 Points!"A long, fresh and mineral aperitif style whose delicate nutty bouqet of grapefruit, melon, white flowers and ginger reveals a hint of creaminess. Taut and fine-grained, with a lean, chalky mouthfeel, a fine, crunchy bead and a...

[SOLD-OUT] Henry's Drive Shiraz 2003

Region: SA- Padthaway

Robert Parker 94 points!"The 2003 Shiraz is a full-bodied, opulently-styled red that smells of creme de cassis and blackberry liqueur intermixed with smoky meats, espresso roast, jammy black fruits, licorice, earth, and toasty new oak. It should evolve...
