Arnot-Roberts Sonoma Coast Syrah 2021
$130.00Out of Stock
Tasting sixty-odd American wines recently, the ’21 Arnot-Roberts Sonoma Coast Syrah was hands down my favourite. Sensual aromatics of sweet dark and red fruits, lavender, whole bunch spice and kirsch. 100% whole bunch is hard to imagine, as they in no way dominate or overpower the fruit. Juicy, sweet and tangy fruit – texturally the […]

Jane Eyre Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$95.00From a single vineyard planted in the late ’90s; native-yeast ferment with 20% whole bunches; matured in French oak (10% new) for 10 months. The whole bunch adds a crackling component here, an autumnal rustle, which is suffused with fruit as the wine is buoyed with air, redcurrant and wild red cherry unfurling. Carraway, rhubarb, […]

Raspail-Ay Gigondas 2020
$85.00The 2020 Gigondas is stunningly good and is loaded with notions of red cherries, framboise, sappy flowers, and pepper. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced Gigondas offering ripe, perfectly integrated tannins, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and a great finish. If I saw this on a wine shelf, I’d buy it. Drink […]

Joshua Cooper Blanche Barkley Old Vines Shiraz 2023
$90.00Unique. There is simply no shiraz like this anywhere in the world, and it is yet more evidence (as if any were needed) of Australia’s most important varietal. The most complex wine of the range. Forceful aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, redcurrant, cranberry, lavender, violets and sweet/savoury Middle Eastern spices. The savoury elements are strong, as […]

$75.00Classic Barossa, classic. Blackcurrant, mint, chocolate, glace cherries, ferrous, blackberry, maple and sweet raspberry.

Domaine la Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone Les Chevrefeuilles Rouge 2022
$39.00I once heard from a Californian wine grower that syrah (or shiraz) was a chameleon of a grape variety, adapting itself to a plentitude of environment’s, wine making techniques and varietal bedfellows. It is for me, the greatest French varietal of them all. I was so taken by Remejeanne’s Chevrefeuilles rouge for it’s freshness, complexity, […]

MMAD Rose 2024
$38.00The second release of rosé for MMAD, and from all varieties on the old vineyard: grenache, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chenin blanc. Like the 2023, the proportions are a mystery, and lifted herbal notes of cabernet again lead the aromatics, but the colour has been dialled down to a classic coral pink. Grenache lends red-fruited […]

Juliard Shiraz 2021
$35.00For those who think shiraz is boring, think again. Here, the grape arrives in a full ball of energy, all plummy and red-fruited, peppery and bright.

Speaks of a varietal purity and lighter-bodied […]

Juliard GSM 2023
$48.00A GSM from Beechworth may sound incongruous, but if ever you were ever in any doubt of the greatness and versatility of the region, Juliard’s GSM will change your mind.
