CA ANZ Revelation Red Baker’s Dozen Redux
Having sold a boatload of The CA ANZ Revelation Baker’s Dozen in 2024, we've been asked to produce a similarly high-end mixed dozen - so here it is…
Coming your way:
2 x The '21 Dowie Doole Architect Shiraz, this is exceptional, and represents a barrel selection chosen from only A-grade parcels from the old, dry-grown Blewitt Springs vineyard.
2 x Yaldara Grand Cuvée Shiraz '21. Mean, black, intense, complex. Decant - the dark and malevolent core of this beast just keeps unfurling as you feed it air!
2 x Manser Block 4 Shiraz, this is a powerhouse, black-fruited Shiraz packing cedar and vanilla which is finished with plentiful fine tannins.
2 x Heirloom Alcala Grenache, abundant with ripe plush fruits of dark cherries and strawberry. Plenty of punchy, exaggerated aromatics from the high % of whole bunch in the ferment and a significant whack of new French oak.
2 x Irvine's Grand Merlot - Australia's best Merlot, year in, year out, and with a $150 a bottle price tag to match. Twice awarded “Worlds’ Best Merlot” in Europe.
2 x Martins Vineyard Shiraz, fruits are blacks and blues, with blueberries, blackberries, olive tapenade, cedar and vanilla populating a powerful and long palate.
So, without the 13th bottle, we're already at $1,570 worth of superbity (if saying said same is not evidence of absurdity) for $565.
As this is being hidden as a VIP offer, we're comfortable to include a 13th bottle: Kilikanoon's Revelation Shiraz. Made only occasionally (5 releases since 2010), this is made in tiny quantities (100-200 dozen) and is genuinely breathtaking. We've taken it to 2 blind tastings.
Tasting 1 included Penfolds Grange - and everyone in the room named the Kilikanoon wine of the night, after the wines had been tasted but before their identities were revealed!
Tasting 2 - wine of the night went to a Bordeaux costing several thousand dollars a bottle. The Revelation did come out in front of the Grange though!
All up $2,120 worth for just $565!

Sorry, this product is not available individually, only in packs.
There are so many exciting talking points in this pack, but let’s start with the Italian wines. We have already featured Conte di Campiano in the past, but the Nero di Troia is a new wine to us. It has plums, black pepper and tobacco and is super silky. Relatively high in acidity backed by plenty of fine tannins. Very slurpable indeed. The other is the Vini Giribaldi Rie Organic Barbera di Alba Riserva 2015. Packed to the brim with red berries and assertive acidity. Definitely decant this one to see the best of it. The other exciting aspect of the pack is new wines from Lone Palm Vineyard and Stonehouse. The Lone Palm Hillside Shiraz and Crossings Shiraz are both sourced from the prized Marananga sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Each vineyard shows different use of French and American oak, but they both have something in common; they are amazing. The Stonehouse Reserve Quartz Block Icon Shiraz is the big one, a massive $150RRP and just as big and powerful as the price tag. Black and blue fruit packaged with some chocolate and cinnamon and fine oak tannin. Delicious. Through the Tasting Glass Cheshire Cat Shiraz is another stunning Barossa Valley Shiraz made by Andrew Hardy. It has violets along with black and blue fruits galore and it is definitely a prospect for the cellar. Some familiar faces you should find in the pack include the delicious Manser Dad’s Block Shiraz, from our own Phil Manser, Heirloom’s stunning new vintage of their Barossa Shiraz and a pair of premiums from Martins Vineyard and Richard Hamilton Centurion. There is also a lovely new Shiraz from Wits End Atlas that needs no cellaring, it is best enjoyed fresh and juicy. The last wine in the bunch is the Kilikanoon Meymans Shiraz Cabernet. Clare Valley is best known for Riesling, but Shiraz and Cabernet, especially under the watchful eye of Kevin Mitchell this Shiraz Cab is a belter. There you have it, all that premium red with a massive $600 off the RRP. Merry Christmas indeed!
