Robert Oatley Finisterre Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 scores 92 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “A standout in the Robert Oatley lineup, this is an accurate Wilyabrup Cabernet that captures the elegance of a cool, late harvest in blackcurrant fruit accented with tobacco leaf, cedar and nuances of eucalypt. From vines averaging 20 years of age, a medium-grained tannin profile promises to hold it confidently for the medium term.” $40. @robertoatleywines @margaretriver.wine #Cabernet #Sauvignon #92 ❤️
Ubertas Wild North Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2021 scores 93 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “A new bargain Barossa blend from a single estate vineyard of 70+ year-old vines that captures the brightness and detail of the great 2021 harvest. The crunchy blueberry, blackberry and satsuma plum fruit of Shiraz is accented with the blackcurrants of 30 percent Cabernet, nicely resolved with two years in French oak barriques. It trumps many Barossa reds at two or three times its price. One for the cellar.” $36. @ubertaswines @barossawines #brightness #detail #93 ❤️
Berton Vineyard High Eden The Bonsai Shiraz 2021 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie. “Dense blackberry, dark chocolate, green olive, twiggy oak and woody spice unfurls with richness and plush texture. The palate is warm but well-shaped, tannins firming the edges and lending a little extra persistence. A classic Barossa Shiraz expression done with gusto in mind but polish and a strong sense of drinkability in its heft.” $60. @bertonvineyards @barossawines #Shiraz #classic ❤️🙌
