Pipers Brook Tasmania Pinot Noir 2021
$51.00Jeremy’s score 92/100A restrained, gentle pinot noir likely to build richness and texture with bottle-age. A very youthful, sweet and dusty bouquet of maraschino cherries, raspberries and rose petals reveals hints of citrus oil and tomato stalk. It’s long and presently quite linear, opening up more depth and weight as it breathes, revealing a faintly smoky presence of black and red forest fruits and cedar/vanila oak that extends down a fine, slatey backbone towards a lingering finish of red licorice. It’s a keeper, and I’d cellar it with confidence.

Pipers Brook Tasmania Pinot Noir 2022
$51.00Jeremy’s score 93/100Heady, musky scents of rose petals, maraschino cherries and raspberries are deeply perfumed and floral. Medium in weight, it’s soft, luscious and mouthfilling, with a densely packed but vibrant expression of red berries and cherries that becomes darker down the palate. Supported by a powdery spine that’s likely to build in strength, it’s long and persistent, culminating in a refreshing acidity and lingering finish of musk and dark cherries.

Pizzini La Volpe Nebbiolo 2022
$35.00Jeremy’s score 89/100Just a delicious, easy-paced and medium-bodied nebbiolo with a spicy, floral bouquet of raspberries, redcurrants, citrus oil and a whiff of cola. Supported by fine, drying tannins, it’s soft and gentle, with plenty of flavour and a lively acidity to finish. Likely to build over the next year or so, and a wonderful red for an outside lunch.

Pizzini La Volpe Nebbiolo 2024
$35.00Jeremy’s score 90/100Deeply perfumed with spicy scents of rose petals, raspberries, red cherries and a whiff of oak, this round, generous and juicy young nebbiolo unfolds a mouthfilling core of raspberries, maraschino cherries and strawberry-like fruit that extends long and vivacious down a fine, sandpapery spine before being wrapped in a savoury finish of vital, refreshing acidity. While it’s young, give it a little time to breathe if you can.

Pizzini NV Prosecco NV
$24.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Full of fruit and flavour, this crunchy, crackly young prosecco opens a bouquet of pear, apple skin and dried almonds and delivers a long, generous core of flavour that extends with excellent length, drive and freshness. There’s a hint of tangy saltiness about its dry-ish finish that helps serve its typical purpose at the start of a meal.

Pizzini Pinot Grigio 2025
$24.00Jeremy’s score 90/100Bright, musky aromas of lemon blossom, pear and green apple skin with a whiff of spice precede a generous, creamy and finely textural palate whose pleasing length of fruit drives long and shapely down a drying, faintly mineral backbone towards a lingering finish wrapped in fresh lemony acids. Very generous, pure and pristine.

Pizzini Sangiovese Shiraz 2022
$23.00Jeremy’s score 88/100Spicy and enticing, with a bright, alluring bouquet of red berries, blood plums, redcurrants and fresh floral notes. Juicy and supple, with a smooth, fruit-driven presence of flavour, it finishes fresh and spotlessly clean. A delicious afternoon quaff or even a red you could easily chill at a barbecue.

Pra Soave Otto 2021
$42.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Bright aromas of apple blossom, minerals and kaffir lime precede a finely textured, slatey palate whose pristine core of melon, stonefruit and apple skin extends towards a refreshing and vivacious finish of focused acidity. A finer, leaner Soave that’s perfect over summer.

Range Life Garganega 2023
$26.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A brilliant young white that talks perfectly of its variety, the heart and soul of Soave. Enticing aromas of pear, apple skin, mint and sage precede a mouthwatering palate whose juicy, creamy and finely textured core of flavour extends long and lively towards a refreshingly zippy finish of lemon, lime and pear. There’s an appealing briskness, purity and vitality about this wine, which is by some margin the finest Australian garganega I have tasted. In fact, when I first came across it, I thought it was European.

Raventos i Blanc de Nit Rosado 2020
$65.00Jeremy’s score 93/100A dash of monastrell contributes the blush to this deluxe Cava, whose creamy, smoky and biscuity bouquet of positive small berry fruit and dried flowers reveals charmingly meaty and oxidative undertones. It’s crackly and crunchy, with a mouthfilling presence of fruit extending long and generous down a chalky palate towards a lingering dry and savoury finish.
-
Renzaglia Sangiovese 2024
$37.00Jeremy’s score 92/100Powerfully aromatic, musky and spicy, it unfolds a briary bouquet whose scents of blackberries, cranberries and blood plums reveal fiery, earthy nuances and a whiff of red flowers. It’s long, mouthfilling and hits the varietal bullseye with a palate of translucent clarity and elegance that drives down and fine, gravelly spine before finishing with a classically refreshing acidity. A true delight that’s as expressive and Tuscan-like as it is stylish and measured.

Rochford Hill Road Syrah 2021
$42.00Jeremy’s score 92/100An elegant, medium-weight, sweetly fruited and textural Yarra shiraz with some powerful St Joseph-like qualities. It’s musky, meaty and spicy, with dark plum and dark berry aromas lifted by a whiff of cracked pepper. Backed by a fine, powdery spine, it’s long and savoury, fleshing out with more richness of fruit with extended time in the glass, finishing with suggestions of charcuterie meats and mineral. If you’re drinking it young, aerate it well.
