Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Shiraz 2018 Magnum

Producer Notes - "An impressive star of the 2018 vintage. Medium deep, dense, red in colour. Cool, fresh aromas of perfumed mints, blueberry, small red berries and red spicy cedar notes. Some leafy aromatics appear as the wine opens up over time. A refined and complex palate that is delightfully fresh with seamlessly integrated oak. Generous red berry fruit is wrapped in finely honed tannins. A medium to full bodied wine with a long flowing tannin profile. A very refined … more

The Standish Wine Company 'The Relic' Shiraz 2022

"The 2022 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier contains 2% Viognier skins, and this addition presents in this vintage as a core of raspberry and pomegranate. It is pure fruited and powerfully aromatic, as this cuvee always is. Interestingly, I am tasting this wine from two different glasses: one opened two days ago, one opened this morning. They are quite different, telling us once again that oxygen really is a friend to this producer, especially if choosing to drink these wines young.

The Standish Wine Company 'The Standish' Shiraz 2022

"The 2022 The Standish Shiraz is again providing me with the opportunity to assess bottles two days apart, and how different they are. The freshly opened bottle, as we would all experience upon our first opening, is tight and fresh, with cracked fennel seed, black peppercorns, cumin and ras el'hanout, then dried blueberries and licorice, hints of arnica and raspberry.

It's cool and mineral, with a graphite finish. I cannot overstate how much better the wine tastes after two days. … more

Stonegarden Vineyard Shiraz 2021

Halliday Wine Companion "Shiraz sourced from vines planted in 1858 and the 1940s in the Eden Valley. Bright crimson in the glass with aromas of macerated satsuma plum, blackberry and blackcurrant pastille. Hints of violets, sage, licorice, bay leaf, roasting meats, panforte, salumi and earth.

Rockford "Rifle Range" Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Winery Notes - "Rifle Range Road which runs parallel to Krondorf Road, is in the heart of the Valley Floor and winds its way up the hills to Kaiser Stuhl National Park. The old rifle range is long gone, but the farming land and vineyards that have long been part of the landscape are still there. Because most of our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards adjacent to Rifle Range Road, it seemed the most appropriate name for this wine which … more

Izway Harold Shiraz 2023

"An incredibly intense and distinctive nose signals a cool harvest, with tobacco leaf and

tamarind combining with celeriac and white pepper to create a beguiling, intriguing and

enticing aroma. The texture is equally titilating, with assertive tannin and spice coiling

fluently with dark cherry, orange rind and Campari like floral. Ilt evokes recollections of

Barolo and Cornas, two of my favourite regions in the world, of course with our own

unique Eden Valley twist. A wine that changed gears overnight … more
