Strawberry and maraschino cherry on the nose and palate here. The nose is beautifully perfumed with red fruits, the palate just off dry with lovely length and bite. A beautiful wine with... Learn More
It’s a soft, smooth and eminently gluggable beast this, with quite plush fruit in a light to medium bodied framework. Looks like it should be drunk quickly but oddly enough is even better the following day. There’s red berries, spice, softness and savory tannins,... Learn More
An abundance of rich and ripe fruit, in a blackberry and mulberry fashion give way to a gentle herbal undertone, finishing with a hit of dark and sticky fruit. Lipsmacking! It drinks well from the first pop of the cork, but would cellar happily in the dungeon for another few years at... Learn More
This is a cracking good Cab for the money – loaded with juicy fruits, spice, some oak and fine, soft tannins. Like any good quaffer it is ready to drink now. Unlike most quaffers, the quality and intensity of fruit is excellent. It’s easy to imagine this with a higher price... Learn More
Red and dark red fruit dominate the nose on this fine rendition of McLazza Shiraz by renowned makers, Coriole. Freshly popped, the fruit speaks leather bound books but after an hour it’s generous, bright, confected and squeaky – more like a retro back issue of a fun Marvel comic. Medium weight on the palate with rustic tannin and a line of acid making a good match for a saucy steak or hearty... Learn More
Rich, thick and boisterous, like an entitled celebrity but much classier and tastier. Made to enjoy now or over the next few years, it’s black with plenty of sweet fruit, a touch of greenery and plenty of tannins to finish. Pair it up with some braised lamb or anything meaty,... Learn More
Big and bold and black-strappy Shiraz fashioned to enjoy now or over the next few years. It’s black with plenty of sweet fruit and fluffy furry tannins to finish. Pair it up with some braised lamb or roast... Learn More
This wine is often described as rustic but we reckon that’s a touch unfair. We reckon this is a deliciously old-school red, with dark, earthy Shiraz fruit working beautifully with pure and fragrant Grenache. It’s quite powerful and has some chunky tannins – but nothing a lump of red meat won’t tame. Will cellar beautifully and is superb value for... Learn More
A little less rustic and tannic than many d’Areberg wines this is nonetheless packed with an intensity of fruit and tannin you don’t normally see in wines at this price-point. This wine has a very pretty nose, with blueberries and perfume giving way to some serious and savoury greenery. The palate is full bodied and fresh, showing blue fruits, cherries and sage. There's great fruit intensity... Learn More
Initially cranky and uncommunicative, like Monday morning before a couple of short blacks. With air this really opens beautifully, showing smoked meats and red confection, cherries, plentiful acid and a stack of fine tannins. Properly mouthwatering and worth having with a hearty Beef cheek dish or a platter of cured meats and... Learn More
A cracking new release from the new owners of this vineyard. A very deep colour, plenty of mulberry, blackberry and cedar. A gorgeous line of cinnamon too. Tannins are firm and fine. In a word, delicious.... Learn More
An exceptional second release of Finniss River Cabernet. The first one scored 2 gold medals, this vintage has 3 golds already and we are confident its brag sheet will exceed the older brothers by the time it is done. Deep dark and brooding, this Cab offers up blackcurrants, dark chocolate and superfine tannins. Delicious now but should last a decade if you store it somewhere nice and cool.... Learn More
Enveloping dark fruits including plum and chocolate, with excellent sweetness of fruit. Plenty of fine yet grippy tannins and a good dollop of aristocratic oak to boot. Persistence and power is pretty amazing at this price point. Black as the ace of... Learn More
A quality everyday drinker from Grant Burge. Plenty of black and blue fruits here with good length and fine tannins. There’s some spice here, a velvety mouthfeel and a little French and American... Learn More
This is a tasty everyday drinker from Grant Burge. Plenty of black and blue fruits here. There’s chocolate and plum too, along with fine tannins and a little French and American... Learn More
A deliciously quaffable Shiraz brought to us by the makers of Finniss River. This is a lovey everyday drink offering plums, chocolate and pepper and good depth of fruit. No need to cellar, rip into it over the next year or... Learn More
Chocolate, cherries and a hint of tomato leaf here. Plenty of juicy fruit and plentiful fine tannins to finish. Should cellar for a few years but is lovely right now with gourmet pizza and red meat... Learn More
A juicy and full flavoured Cab this. Plenty of big Cab flavours wrapped up in a cuddly texture. Tannins are present but soft, making this dangerously easy to drink. Blackberries, blackcurrant, black tea. With all that black I can hear Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap asking… ‘how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more... Learn More
A delicious, crunchy and bright wine made slippery and decadent with its silken, gossamer like tannins. Quite a fruit bomb but in no way stewy, rather it is vibrant and intense showing raspberries, liquorice, cinnamon and black fruits. It definitely has the stuffing to cellar but is so delicious right now as to make such considerations pretty much... Learn More
A delicious zippy rose packed with strawberries and cherries. There’s good length and intensity of flavour and just enough sweetness on the finish to bring a smile but not enough to anger the dentist. Works beautifully with cheese and fruit... Learn More
