Ros Ritchie Pinot Meunier 2022
$34.00Jeremy’s score 92/100Irresistibly perfumed and vivacious, this delightful pinot meunier massively over-delivers. A fragrance of red and blue berries, red cherries nsd rose petals reveals suggestions of underbrush, spice and citrus oil. Medium in body, it reveals a plump core of juicy flavour that extends down a powdery spine of fine tannins towards a long and refreshing finish. It makes you feel Spring has sprung.

Ros Ritchie Sauvignon Blanc 2023
$26.00Jeremy’s score 93/100Pungent, ripe aromas of gooseberries, lychees and a whiff of passionfruit are backed by creamy, nutty suggestions from yeast and older oak. It’s creamy and vivacious, extending long and smooth down a pithy spine towards a mouthwatering finish of lemony acids. A proper sauvignon blanc – fruit-driven and textural.

Saltram Mamre Brook Shiraz 2021
$30.00Jeremy’s score 93/100Smoky scents of violets, black and blue berries, vanilla, cedar and coconut are lifted by a note of cracked pepper. Long and polished, it’s smooth and handsomely oaked, with a plush but gentle core of blackberries, blueberries and blood plums framed by fine tannins and wrapped in soft acids. Very measured and approachable but able to cellar – a terrific Barossa shiraz.

Saltram Mamre Brook Shiraz 2023
$30.00Jeremy’s score 91/100While it’s a hefty 14.5% alcohol, this Barossa shiraz reveals the restrained and approachability you see from the cooler seasons. Its aromas and flavours of cassis, blackberries, dark plums and blueberries knit tightly with cedary, chocolatey oak, while its soft, round and slightly warm palate is framed by a gentle cut of pliant tannins. It’s no fruit bomb, and neither does it finish sweet. Instead, it’s a pleasing, generous and approachable Barossa shiraz for those who enjoy the species but don’t fancy being whacked by it.

Sanguine Estate D’Orsa Shiraz 2021
$70.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A sumptuous Heathcote shiraz whose brightly lit bouquet of dark berries, plums and chocolatey oak reveals smoky undertones of roasting meats and bramble. Smooth and seamless, delivering a concentrated expression of dark plums, blackberries and redcurrants, it’s tightly knit with fine-grained oak and framed by a chewy extract of gravelly tannin. Despite its richness and generosity, there’s more than an element of Rhone-like style about this wine, which finishes with lingering sour-edged fruits, earthiness and a savoury aspect.

Sanguine Estate Progeny Shiraz 2022
$26.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A shapely, medium to full-bodied shiraz whose heady, wild and peppery scent of blackberries, dark plums and a whiff of chocolatey oak is lifted by a note of eastern spice. Long and complete, its penetrative expression of dark plums and berries knits with chocolate/cedar/vanilla oak, is underpinned by fine drying tannins and finishes with lingering notes of licorice.
