Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

Tyrrell’s Vat 6 Pinot Noir 2017
$75.00The 2017 Vat 6 Tyrrell’s Pinot Noir is gorgeous. It’s nervy and has that fabulous angular structure unique to Tyrrell’s. There is a complexity of flavour that I have not yet seen from this wine. Raspberry, strawberry and cranberry with hints of porcini mushroom and cured meat. There are also wonderful hints of oak spice […]

Craiglee Eadie Shiraz 2019
$48.00Funnily enough, when I tried this, I thought there was a dash of viognier, as it reminded me of Cote Rotie. Super fragrant with cured meats, fresh compost, smoke, Middle Eastern spices, black and red fruits and violets. Full bodied, succulent, masses of fruit and rich, oozing tannins. Very different from the estate shiraz and […]

Ministry of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2022
$40.00Very much in the contemporary mould of Australian chardonnay, the emphasis on freshness and intensity. Citrus, orchard fruits and white flowers, framed by expensive French oak. Coiled and compact with fleshy fruits, white flowers and savoury spice. Precise, linear and very intense. This would benefit from a few years in the cellar. Waters Wine Co […]

Standish Wine Co The Standish 2022
$140.00The 2022 The Standish Shiraz is again providing me with the opportunity to assess bottles two days apart, and how different they are.

Sentio Nebbiolo 2021
$65.00A wonderful juxtaposition here between nebbiolo florals, fruit and tannin/acidity. There’s an imposing structural strength behind the delicacy of the florals and the concentration of fruit. It’s early days, but the basis for an exciting, long-lived wine is here. Rose, anise, cranberry, cherry, dried flowers, earth and leaves introduce a wine that the longer it […]

Stonegarden Northwest Grenache 2021
$65.00From vines planted in 1858 and 1854. This is really something, framed by cashmere tannins that run long, from beginning to end.

Gilbert Pinot Noir 2023
$32.00So often too lean or too worked, Orange pinot noir has hit a sweet spot with Gilbert’s 2023. Pretty and floral, with savoury spices, hedge fruits, and tangy rhubarb, plum and English strawberry. Packed with flavour, mineral; lithe and sleek. It’s not silky, there’s too much texture, and for all its lightness, there’s plenty of […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn’t need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. 96 points – Philip […]
