Mitchelton Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$26.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A measured and well-balanced cabernet whose cigarboxy aromas of cassis, cedar, dark chocolate and dried herbs precedes a long, polished palate of medium to full body. Full in flavour, with genuine structure and poise, it should age well.
-
Mitchelton Marsanne 2021
$28.00Jeremy’s score 90/100From a cool, late season comes this elegant, reserved marsanne whose waxy fragrance of yellow flowers, citrus and melon reveal suggestions of creamy yeast and are likely to build with time. It’s long and shapely, with a chalky expression of stonefruit and citrus with some underlying nutty complexity that finishes savoury and quite dry, with hint of funk.
-
Mitchelton Roussanne 2022
$28.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Scented with a honeysuckle-like and musky, spicy perfume of yellow flowers, cinnamon, melon and creamy nougat with buttery undertones, this round, generous and savoury roussanne is delightfully varietal and round. It finishes long and waxy, with a gentle but refreshing acidity.
-
Mitchelton Shiraz 2021
$28.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A restrained but flavoursome medium-bodied central Victorian shiraz whose brooding fragrance of dark flowers, dark berries and fiery spices is backed by smoky cedar/vanilla oak and lifted by a whiff of musk. Supported by a gravelly spine, its even length of black and blue fruits, charry oak fine, drying tannins finishes savoury and with a lively acidity. Quite European in style.

Morris Bin No. 158 Durif 2023
$24.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Luscious, deeply flavoured and finely balanced, this excellent durif presents an almost bloody and sour-edged expression of dark cherry, plum and berry flavour backed by typical varietal notes of roasting meats and dried herbs: bay leaf and oregano especially. There’s an undercurrent of dark chocolate and a lingering note of black jelly bean. A superb red for a very good barbecue.
-
Morris Bin No. 186 Shiraz 2022
$24.00Jeremy’s score 89/100Deep, dark and profoundly ripe, earthy and leathery, this classically rich and powerfully fruited Rutherglen shiraz delivers impactful plum, berry and prune-like flavour with gentle oak and meaty undertones. Its bouquet is underpinned by scents of the roasting tray, while there’s plenty of fine, drying tannins beneath its sumptuous core of fruit that will enable it to develop for at least a decade.
-
Mount Mary Quintet Cabernet Blend 2010
$285.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A deep, alluring perfume of violets, cassis, raspberries and mulberries is augmented by fresh, fine-grained cedar/vanilla oak and undertones of dried herbs. With time it has begun to reveal suggestions of wet wool and lanolin, losing the brightness of its youth. It’s still supple and fine-grained, with a lively core of red berry flavour, but it’s drying out from the finish and does finish with some slightly edgy and awkward aspects.
-
Mount Mary Quintet Cabernet Blend 2011
$250.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Willowy and elegant, with the structure, length and balance and mature with grace. Dusty and faintly herbal aromas of small black and red berries, mulberries and violets backed by restrained oak and musky forest floor undertones, reveal a hint of capsicum. Initially plump and juicy, it’s medium to full-bodied, with restrained but lively black and red berry and plum flavours supported by reserved oak and a supple spine of dusty tannin. It finishes with length and persistence, but with some underlying herbal notes and a suggestion of green-edged acidity.
-
Mount Pleasant Mount Henry Shiraz Pinot Noir 2022
$40.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A gentle, charming short to medium-term red blend whose floral bouquet of fiery small red berries and plums reveals a whiff of cracked pepper and eastern spice. It’s medium-bodied, smooth and gentle, with a fine, elegant palate whose vivacious black, blue and red fruit flavours are underpinned by notes of beetroot, briar and charcuterie meats, extending down a loose-knit spine towards a lingering and brightly lit finish of licorice and fruit.
-
Mount Pleasant Old Paddock & Old Hill Shiraz 2022
$60.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A superb, fine, Burgundy-like shiraz whose spicy fragrance of red cherries, redcurrants, blood plums and white pepper reveals a hint of meatiness and some very restrained, cedary oak. It’s richly and generously flavoured, with a mouthfilling presence of pristine redcurrant, cherry and raspberry-like fruit underpinned by fine, slatey tannins before finishing supremely long and savoury. Artfully balanced and delivering medium-weight Hunter style on steroids.
-
Mr Mick Cabernet Merlot 2019
$18.00Jeremy’s score 89/100A solid, flavoursome Clare cabernet blend whose ripe and faintly minty aromas of dark plums, cassis, mulberries and creamy vanilla oak reveals a hint of cigarbox. Backed by a firm, drying chalky spine, it’s richly flavoured but remains polished and approachable.
-
Mr Mick Fiano 2023
$18.00Jeremy’s score 90/100Powerfully varietal, this tangy, savoury fiano reveals musky scents of stonefruit, melon and pear backed by hints of yellow flowers and saltbush. It’s generous and creamy, soft and dry, finishing deliciously saline and mineral.
