Given times are tight at the moment, we're putting extra effort into the value side of the equation, whilst, as always striving to offer the best wines possible. So, here's a $180 baker's doz we think comfortably passes the Pub Test.
Inside, you’ll find:
3 bottles of a 94-point Barossa Cab
3 bottles of a double gold-winning Padthaway blend
3 bottles of Cape Jaffa’s stunning 2021 Shiraz Cab
3 bottles of Showblock’s powerhouse 95-point Cab Shiraz
The 13th? Oh, that's just a bottle of Martin’s $150 a bottle 97-point McLaren Vale Shiraz—a super-premium stunner and longtime best-seller.
Great wine, serious value. Hard to go wrong with this one.

The Martins has maintained the exceptionally high standard it set with the 2018 vintage. Fruits are blacks and blues, with blueberries, blackberries, olive tapenade, cedar and vanilla populating a powerful and long palate. The tannins are polished, waxy and plentiful. The overall package, outstanding!!
A big, brooding beast, packed with blackberry, dark cherries, dark chocolate, baking spice and plenty of cedar. The generosity and ripeness of fruit is superb. Definitely worth decanting.
A beautiful and fragrant mid-weight Limestone Coast blend of Shiraz and Cabernet. Cape Jaffa have a knack for making wines that are gloriously drinkable on release and improve, maybe not for 20 years, but for 5+ minimum. This offers, spice, florals and red fruit in abundance, which then leads to darker fruits, a litle cedar and a fine tannin finish. We love it.
This is a gorgeously vibrant blend of Shiraz and Cab from the Limestone Coast. It has heady perfume of red fruits, blue fruits and florals leading to a palate bursting with cranberry, blackcurrants, mint, cedar and a hint of eucalypt
A powerful Barossa Cab which announces itself with varietally appropriate aromatic lift in the form of violets and greenery. The palate is concentrated, replete with blackcurrant and blackberries along with macerating cherries and spice. Plenty of cedar and plenty of fine to medium weight tannins to finish. Begging for a rare to medium T-Bone.
