Crawford River Cabernets 2024
$38.0075/25% cabernets sauvignon/cabernet franc. A medium, bright crimson purple. A lovely, fragrant cool-climate cabernet featuring aromas of sour cherry, blackberry and both dried roses and herbs. This is medium bodied, with good depth of fruit together with firm, chalky tannins that, while balanced, will need some time to ameliorate. 93+ Points – Philip Rich, Halliday […]

Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2023
$28.00Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle is in the commune of Macau, next to its more famous neighbor, Margaux. Like Margaux, the soils and environs are similar, as is the varietal mix, in this case 80% merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon. The wine saw no oak whatsoever, and it’s rich, with delectable freshness and vibrancy. Juicy, tensioned by […]

Tim Smith MGS 2024
$30.00Another testament to the Smith touch, that rare ability to overdeliver without trying too hard. Black plums and blueberries; a fine, sour cherry edge. Sarsaparilla, dark earth, licorice, baked quince. Sucking copper coins through split lips. Plush and slippery on the palate, disciplined by beautifully gritty tannins. Find me a better red at this price. […]

Wantirna Estate Amelia Cabernet Merlot 2023
$105.00A 45/45/10% cabernet sauvignon/merlot and cabernet franc/petit verdot blend with the majority coming off the original dry-grown 1963 plantings. A fabulous, bright crimson/purple. A touch riper and richer than the ’22. There’s a sumptuous core of dark fruits, violets, cedar and fresh pencil shavings on the nose. It’s just as enticing on the perfectly pitched, […]

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2024
$35.0060/40% Marmont vineyard grenache/Paralian-owned Springs Hill vineyard shiraz. The most fruit-forward and ‘primal’ barrels are selected for this. This is delightfully upper mid-weight, joyously fragrant and supple, redolent of cherry juice, roses in bloom, musk, sumac, cinnamon, the gently creeping darker fruit and spice of shiraz latterly joining the grenache lead, adding a little growl […]

Juliard GSM 2023
$45.00A 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. All the varietals shine in this blend and this is certainly greater than the sum of its parts. The fruit is estate grown, planted on […]

Bondar Junto GSM 2024
$30.00One of my favourite Bondar wines. We had a 2022 a year after release and it was gorgeous, better after a year in bottle. Vibrant from start to finish with pure black, red and blue fruits, dried flowers and mixed herbs. Curvy, full flavoured and downright easy to drink, with lithe tannins and gentle acidity. […]

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, […]

Raspail-Ay Gigondas 2020
$85.00Out of Stock
The 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 […]

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$70.00Bright ruby. Opens with a core of pure blackcurrant cabernet fruit together with scents of cedar, violets and a very gentle leafiness. The palate is youthful, refined and persistent and the tannins are silky yet long chained. It all adds up to a wine that, while good now, will age effortlessly over the next eight […]

Curator Wine Co Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$32.00Barossa Valley Cabernet is one of our great underrated wine styles. Curator’s effort is very cabernet and as it should be, very Barossa. Deep and vibrant colour, with soaring, glorious aromatics of black fruits, lavender and wood spice. Full bodied, full of vigour and strength, with savoury herbs, licorice, camp fire, creme de cassis, dark […]
