Cantine Vitevis Howard Vineyard Longview Solaris Bird in Hand Tim Adams Schwarz Wine Company Full Wine List

A tightly coiled Cab that needs a little coaxing by way of an hour or 2 in the decanter. While that's happening, turn your thoughts to lamb and what you might be eating in an hour or 2 when the wine is cherry ripe. Funnily enough, we found cherries here, along with blackcurrant, cocoa, tomato leaf and a plushness emerging from an intense baseline once the wine had gulped a little air. You can see the promise on opening, but post decanting, the Trophy and gold medals this wine has won make a great deal of sense. Learn More

Classic high-end, Adelaide Hills Shiraz this, offering bold fruit, firm structure, graphite laden oak and fine but firm tannins. Cherries, pepper and spice here, best coaxed out with a decant an hour or 2 before drinking. While you are waiting, fire up a charcoal grill. Learn More

A top-end Shiraz from the Barossa and Eden Valleys. You can see the Eden influence in the exotic spice and finely honed olive tapenade dancing around, without dominating the delicious raspberry, florals, chocolate, cherries and mulberries that mark this a complex wine. Only 92 from Halliday, perhaps because they tasted it six months ago? Learn More
