Cullen Wines Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2024 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A beautiful luncheon Claret style red that delivers an array of intriguing scents and flavours starting with lavender, rose water, sweet tobacco and rolling into boysenberry, cassis and dark cherry. A touch of dried leaf and ferrous, sweet earthiness also appears. The wine composed, near refreshing in cool acidity and lithe tannin. Gulpable stuff.” $51. @cullenwines @margaretriver.wine #intriguing #scents #gulpable #94 🙌🙌
Schubert Estate Goose-Yard Block Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A mellifluous and rich red of seamless flow and evenness. Dark, brooding, blackcurrant, blackberry nip, maraschino cherry notes, clove and cinnamon, white pepper, mahogany and new leather characters abound. All bound up nicely too; a thick, supple flow that lingers with fruit sweetness and woody spice. Lush done well.” $150. @schubert_estate @mybarossa @barossawines #Shiraz #BarossaValley #mellifluous #rich #seamless #flow #95 👏🍷
Schubert Estate The Gander Barossa Valley Reserve Shiraz 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A distinctly powerful, inky and rich red wine with the full force of regional flavour in ripe plum, choc-dipped raspberry, cola, liquorice and a coating of liquid spice and woody, cedary lift. All this well judged and woven together, but there’s no escaping the bold and muscular flex of the wine. Warm and rich through the finish with palate staining intensity. Impressive.” $260. @schubert_estate @mybarossa @barossawines #distinctly #powerful #warm #rich #impressive #95 🍷❤️
Meerea Park Hell Hole Hunter Valley Shiraz 2023 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “These 1960-planted vines on Palmers Lane in Pokolbin are in a place of seamless harmony in the 2023 harvest, producing a compellingly elegant Hunter Shiraz of enticing beauty. There is depth of black fruit and black pepper, with lingering persistence and composure, yet never dark nor heavy. Fine-grained, mineral tannins and beautifully supporting acidity make for both immediate joy and medium-term endurance.” $60. @meereapark @huntervalley.wine @huntervalley #Shiraz #elegant #enticing #immediate #joy #95🍷❤️
Tash Adelaide Hills Nero d’Avola 2024 scores 92 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Juicy, fleshy and ‘sessionable’, this is a wonderfully versatile and unashamedly lighter-bodied young red, brimming with berry fruits of all kinds, black cherries and spice. Fruit focus is the goal here, gently supported by a fine web of intricate tannins. Presenting impressive length and integrity, it’s well priced and guaranteed to please any crowd.” $25. @tash_and_the_thief_wines @adelaidehillswine #AdelaideHills #juicy #fleshy #sessionable #92 🙌❤️
