Marnong Estate Single Vineyard Sunbury Sangiovese 2024 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A pitch perfect medium weight expression of the variety with tried and tested red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry fruit characters married to cinnamon spice, dried sage leaf, white pepper and faint smoky paprika notes. A swish of lacy tannin, and a kind of firming, dryness that follows. An apt wine for red sauce suburban pasta joints and the good glassware there.” $35. @marnongestate #Marnong #Sunbury #Sangiovese #Wine #93 🙌
Five Vineyard Plenty Region Reserve Shiraz 2022 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A distinct feel to the wine, set to more ‘blue fruits’ and ‘purple fruits’ than traditional red or black, perhaps. Suggestions of game meat, some smoky spice notes, dried herbs in the mix too. A smoothness to texture that finishes with a building grip of grunty tannin. Satisfying for its liveliness then suggestion of gravitas through tannin. A compelling wine.” $65. @fivevineyardmernda #distinct #satisfying #compelling #94❤️
