Peccavi Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$75.00Jeremy’s score 97/100A quintessential cabernet whose heady bouquet of cassis, violets, dark cherries and fresh cedar/vanilla oak reveals smoky, meaty undertones and a hint of dark chocolate. Long and evenly paced, with a plush, perfectly ripened expression of classic cabernet flavour, it’s tightly knit with fine-grained chocolatey oak and supported by a firm, gravelly backbone, extending towards a lingering finish of focus and freshness. A long-term classic offering equal parts of power and charm. World class.

Peccavi Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A youthful, evolving chardonnay whose aromas of grapefruit, lemon, lime and white peach are lifted by notes of flowers and spice, with toasty, creamy, nutty and faintly buttery undertones. It’s anything but flabby, but delivers a vibrant, mouthfilling core of citrus and stonefruit flavour deftly knit with oak and creamy, buttery and yeast-derived nutty complexity. Driving long and generous down a powdery spine, it then focuses around a saline lick of brine and mineral, where a brittle acidity helps it finish dry and savoury. It’s measured and stylish, likely to evolve more richness, weight and roundness while retaining its balance and style.

Peccavi No Regrets Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2022
$25.00Jeremy’s score 90/100Very stylish and shapely, this is more of a Sancerre-like sauvignon than a WA fruit bomb. A faintly herbal expression of gooseberries, melon and a hint of lychee dextends long, round and flavoursome down a fine, chalky palate, finishing dry and almost savoury with briny notes of oyster shell and mineral.

Peccavi Petit Verdot 2020
$55.00Jeremy’s score 92/100If ever you’ve been curious enough to explore exactly what petit verdot contributes to a Bordeaux blend, here is your opportunity. Lifted by a whiff of violet, it reveals a confiture-like bouquet of mulberries, cassis, dark plums and toasty vanilla oak. Effortless, smooth and creamy, its chocolatey presence of dark berries and cherries is framed by a loose-knit grade of grainy tannin. Like most reds made 100% from this grape, it’s for the short to medium term.

Peccavi Sauvignon Blanc 2020
$45.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Made in a contemporary white Bordeaux style with contributions from both oak and semillon, it’s mouthfilling, tangy and savoury. A scent of guava, gooseberries and lychees backed by smoky suggestions of vanilla oak and creamy yeast-derived nuances reveals a whiff of musk and dried herbs. It’s long, luscious and refined, with a wonderful depth of fruit that drives over a pithy crunchiness towards a lingering finish that hints of brine and minerals. A terrific food wine and certainly a sauvignon blanc for adults!

Peccavi Syrah (Formerly Shiraz) 2022
$55.00Jeremy’s score 94/100While Margaret River doesn’t immediately spring to mind as a region ideally suited to shiraz, Peccavi has a long history of crafting savoury, Rhone-inspired expressions of this variety of genuine class. This vintage reveals a musky perfume of cassis, raspberries and blueberries knit with smoky cedar/vanilla oak and lifted by scents of cinnamon, white pepper, violets and red flowers. Smooth and seamless, its succulent core of translucently clear fruit knits perfectly with a fresh oak interface, finishing with style and lingering flavour.

Peccavi The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$150.00Jeremy’s score 97/100Peccavi’s top level cabernet bucks the Australian trend, for it’s based on quality and purity of expression rather than additional ripeness, oak or extract. A heady, essential perfume of cassis, redcurrants, raspberries and dark plums backed by suggestions of dried herbs, minerals and blueberries is deftly supported by gentle cedar/cigarboxy oak. It’s plush and luxuriant but emphasises purity and elegance as it glides down a pliant but chalky spine of grainy tannins, culminating in a lingering finish of remarkable length and balance.

Peccavi The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$150.00Jeremy’s score 98/100Simply an astonishing, classical and perfectly balanced cabernet revelling in its style and power. Its bouquet is saturated by with fruit and florals as pristine, concentrated scents of cassis, dark plums and black cherries are tightly knit with cedar/cigarboxy oak and lifted by sweet scents of violets and dried wild herbs. Underpinned by a firmish, powdery spine of drying tannins, its luscious, mouthfilling core of vivacious fruit extends tightly ordered and complete towards a lingering, dry and faintly mineral finish. Exuding class and finesse, it’s emphatic but controlled, flaunting its artful integration with excellent polished oak. A Queen Mary (reference the liner) of a cabernet, and one of the finest from Australia in decades.

Peccavi The Estate Merlot 2021
$150.00Jeremy’s score 97/100A superb, firm and assertive, genuinely Bordeaux-like merlot revealing a perfect balance between fruit and structure, oak and texture. Deep aromas of dark, ripe cherries, dark plums and fresh cedary oak are lifted by scents of dark blue and black flowers, revealing notes of mineral and gravel, cigarbox and blood plum with breathing. Initially quite fine and silky, its long, smooth and polished palate delivers remarkable plushness and texture, becoming firmer with time in the glass. Driving long and complete, it’s a remarkable marriage of varietal purity and flavour, with everything in perfect place to cellar for decades.
