Curtis Family Vineyards Enigma McLaren Vale Shiraz 2024 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A fragrant, juicy expression of Shiraz with brashness on its side but wonderful uplift and charm. Bouquet and palate do dark berries, violets and spice in abundance. The palate feels energetic and plush at once, carrying attractive fruit sweetness balanced by savoury, nutty detail. Approachable and vibrant, this is a wine built around immediate enjoyment and generosity.“ $60. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mclaren_vale @mikebennie101 #Shiraz #McLarenVale #fragrant #juicy #vibrant 👏👏
De Bortoli Melba Vineyard Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From the original vines planted between 1971 and 1990 on the Melba vineyard at Dixon’s Creek, this is a beautiful expression of what endears Cabernet Sauvignon to the Yarra: fragrance, elegance and understated, confident endurance. Rose hip aromatics grace a core of redcurrants and sage, beautifully framed in firm, fine tannins and bright acidity. A vintage for the long haul.” $180. @debortoliwines @yarravalleywine @tyson_stelzer #YarraValley #elegance #confidence #95 ❤️😊
America has been celebrating an important milestone — 50 years since the Judgement of Paris. Brian Croser says the Australian wine industry deserves a big pat on the back for all it has achieved over the past five decades. Read the full article in the latest edition of WBM. #WBM #America
Wirra Wirra Church Block McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023 scores 91 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The Church Block blend has been famous for more than 50 years and now – for the first time – it’s also a single varietal wine. I admire the way it both embraces the structural endurance and fine-boned tannin frame of the blend and the dark berry fruit body and depth of McLaren Vale Shiraz, making this both a delicious and immediate bargain quaffer and a red you could confidently pop in the cellar.” $25. @wirrawirrawines @mclaren_vale @tyson_stelzer #Shiraz #McLarenVale ❤️😊
