Knappstein Enterprise Vineyard Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “There’s a feeling of intricate engineering to this vintage. Cool, elegant, fine-boned, and unashamedly never more than medium-bodied, this is a Cabernet all about precise scaffolding. I love the way the bright acidity and delicate yet strong tannins of this season reinforce the limestone mineral texture of the Clare, tapped by the deep roots of 1969 vines. It has a long and enduring future before it.” $53. @knappsteinclare @clarevalleywine #ClareValley #cool #elegant #enduring ❤️

Henschke Hill of Grace Eden Valley Shiraz 2022 scores 99 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “I love the detail and purity that are conveyed by the fanatical work of the Henschkes and it’s presented in heightened realism in the cool and late 2022 harvest. The Hill of Grace signatures of five spice, pristine black fruits and mesmerisingly silky tannins are set against a captivating backdrop of dark fruits of all kinds, enlivened with wonderfully lively acidity. In harmony, flow and eternal persistence, this is benchmark Hill of Grace, with an enduring future spanning half a century before it.” $1,100. @henschke @edenvalleysa #99 #EdenValley #Shiraz ❤️
