Wantirna Estate Amelia Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2011
$90.00Jeremy’s score 90/100Charmingly gentle, smooth and supple, with a delicate, dusty bouquet of light floral notes, sweet black and red berries and restrained cedary oak. It’s finely crafted, elegant and willowy, with a pleasing length of gentle fruit, reserved oak and supple tannins, finishing with fresh acids and just a hint of a green edge.

Wickhams Road Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2024
$23.00Jeremy’s score 91/100What’s going on here? How on earth does Franco d’Anna fashion a pinot of such intensity, purity, fragrance and depth of flavour – not to mention its structure, drive and balance – for $22? I’m ordering it immediately for our Shop. There’s no way a $22 pinot can be this good; it pulls the rug out from many supposedly illustrious pinots for two or three times its price. A delicious, mouthfilling, satisfying, yong and uncomplicated pinot that gives and gives. And even more the day after if you have the patience…

Wickhams Road Yea Valley Cabernet Franc 2022
$19.00Jeremy’s score 89/100A long, complete and even stylish cabernet franc whose vibrant but dusty perfume of raspberries, redcurrants and light cedary oak reveals a hint of dried herbs. Supported by a fine, gravelly spine, its vivacious palate of red and blue fruits fills the mouth before honing in towards a fresh and almost savoury finish.

Wirra Wirra Dry Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Vivacious and varietal, with a delightful perfume of raspberries and red cherries lifted by sweet floral aromas and backed by a hint of creaminess. It’s round, luscious and deeply flavoured as it extends with a juicy viscosity and undertones of nougat and bubblegum down a fine, powdery backbone towards a lingering, savory and distinctly saline finish wrapped in refreshing acidity.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Glengyle Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$80.00Jeremy’s score 96/100Very elegant and stylish, with the depth and structure suggestive of fine Saint-Julien. It opens with a dark, musly and mineral bouquet of cassis, blood plums and redcurrants lifted by heady scents of red and blue flowers and knit with cedar/mocha/dark chocolate oak. Supported by a fine, drying spine of firm tannin, its deep, beautifully poised core of blackberry, mulberry and cassis-like flavour extends with smoothness and polish towards a lingering savoury finish. Likely to build with time in the bottle, then age classically later on.

Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier 2023
$25.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Alluring scents of honeysuckle, cinnamon, musk and tangerine precede a luscious but gentle palate whose stonefruit and citrus flavours extend down a fine, drying and slatey backbone towards a savoury and faintly saline finish. It’s a finer, more reserved expression of this variety, but still provides an emphatic expression of classic perfume, mouthfeel and flavour.

Zema Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$28.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Stunning quality and value here – this is a classically proportioned, riper and more assertive Coonawarra cabernet that will please many long-term buyers of the species. Deep aromas of cassis, mulberries, dark plums and chocolate/cedar/vanilla oak reveal earthy and gravelly undertones plus a whiff of mint and dried herbs. Underpinned by a firm spine of drying, ferrous tannins, it delivers excellent drive, richness and power – all in balance and without any suggestion of over-ripeness.

Zema Estate Cluny Cabernet Merlot 2018
$25.00Jeremy’s score 91/100An elegant, measured Coonawarra blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot whose vibrant aromas of cassis, dark cherries and raspberries are knit with polished cedar/chocolate oak. Underpinned by a fine, plaint texture of crunchy tannins, it’s long and evenly paced, finishing with a lively, measured acidity. Excellent value.

Ziro Prosecco NV
$28.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A creamy, vivacious prosecco whose pleasingly long and crunchy palate features fresh pear and apple skin flavours and just a faint sweetness that’s finely balanced by a refreshing acidity. An excellent aperitif!
