96 points James Halliday: "All P58 clone from '80 and '82 plantings. Whole-bunch pressed to 500L puncheons (about 20% new). No lees stirring. A touch brighter and deeper in colour than the Hazeldene. Sexy stuff from the first whiff with its aromas of stone fruits, acacia honey and grilled nuts. Glides effortlessly across the silken-textured palate. You know it will age well, but this is an Oakridge chardonnay that you won't need to wait too long to enjoy. *Gold*" (02/2024) 96 points James Suckling: "From the oldest vineyard at this address, planted in ...

96 points James Halliday: "Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed to 500L French puncheons, wild-yeast fermented, matured for 10 months on lees. The Upper Yarra, on red volcanic soils, produces taut wines of extreme length. Here citrus, white stone fruit and green apple are bolstered by natural acidity. Winemaker David Bicknell makes the difficult seem easy." (08/2023) 96 points James Suckling: "Aromas of baked lemon, flint, hazelnut and lime zest. Medium-bodied with bright and driving acidity. The palate is energetic and fruity with an array of smoked citru...

93 points James Halliday: "We all know the many accolades this wine has attracted in the past. Interestingly, the fruit is sourced from Margaret River but it's made at Yalumba in SA. The South Australian penchant for American oak (rare in WA) shows, lending the wine a plush bed of texture. The succulent fruit is sensational, thanks to the brilliant 2020 vintage, making for yet another satisfying and value-for-money release from Ringbolt. (EL) *Silver*" (09/2022) 93 points James Suckling: "This is very floral, with lots of violets, together with such at...

97 points Decanter: "Most keen drinkers now realise that Australia can produce a gamut of Chardonnay styles, but somehow the word seems harder to get out about Shiraz. This wine from Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills should do the trick for anyone who has yet to realise that cool-climate accounts of the variety can be every bit as compelling as as their warm-climate counterparts. The wine is dark in colour, with lots of episcopal purple; the aromas are bright, lifted and billowing, not just cherry-fresh but with some billowing cherry blossom in there too. I...

97 points James Halliday: "Whole berry/bunch open fermentation for 3 weeks; matured for 10 months in French oak. The Willowlake vineyard is one of the first to venture to the Upper Yarra. Balance is the key word for this beautiful pinot, the red cherry/berry fragrance is mirrored by the palate, where delicate but clear savoury notes of spice are woven through the red fruit palate and aftertaste." (11/2022) 96 points Bob Campbell: "Medium-deep red-purple colour; intense and bright spice aromas, nutty/smoky barrel and foresty fruit aromas combine to give...

96 points Bob Campbell: "Medium-deep red-purple colour with a smoked-meat/charcuterie bouquet, a note of dried florals too. A complex bouquet which is intense and alluring. This translates to the palate, where it is sweet-fruited and charming, with gorgeous flavour and mouth-feel. The fruit-sweet core is succulent, the flow beautifully even and lingering. A lovely pinot noir. (Huon Hooke, The Real Review)" (12/2022) 96 points James Halliday: "A blend of MV6, C777 and C115 clones from the 2008-planted Henk vineyard at Woori Yallock. Approximately 20% wh...

96 points James Halliday: "Old vines; hand picked; élevage in old oak. Bright, clear crimson; a perfumed, red-fruited, spiced bouquet lights the way, the palate making off with this opening by adding high-quality tannins. Whether or not a shotgun marriage, it comes together in glistening unison. *Gold*" (01/2022) 93 points James Suckling: "Fresh aromas of raspberries, blueberries and plums lead to a very fleshy palate that rolls through with plenty of sweet-fruit flavor. So drinkable now. Screw cap." (10/2021)

93 points James Suckling: "I like this. Unexpectedly fresh shiraz, full-weighted, detailed and impeccably poised. Bravo. A hint of reduction on the nose sashays effortlessly to clove, star anise and dusty riffs on turmeric and curry powder, before violets, blue fruits and iodine play a more typically regional shiraz card. This is my favorite wine of the recent suite in terms of sheer drinkability. Younger vines, longer extraction and superior tannins to the rest, the result. Crunch, sass and power all in one. Drink or hold. " (11/2023) 92 points Wine A...

93 points Decanter: "An incredible Shiraz – sour, peppery and amazingly aromatic with a green peppercorn note atop ridiculously ripe fruit. Crunchy tannins form the perfect platform on which the glorious blackberry, liquorice, rhubarb and cherry notes cavort. 70% of this wine is estate fruit, so that goes some way to explaining why this has such an elite flavour. (MJ)" (09/2023) 93 points James Halliday: "Mostly (83%) Grampians fruit, though there are contributions from Heathcote, Swan Hill and Bendigo. This wine is often a happy hunting ground for val...
95 points James Halliday: "Blended from wines aged for a decade or more in oak (up to 15 years). Fabulous concentration here, as per the house style, while also establishing real elegance and spirit freshness. It's a fine balance to achieve and it's quite effortless in nougat, orange peel, raisin freshness with dark chocolate and creamy caramels. Long, unwavering finish. *Gold* (JP) " (08/2022)

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "From the granite soils and cool climates of the Grampians mountains, this baby brother to Langi's premium Shiraz provides excellent value. Highly peppery from first sniff, it also offers fresh red and black berry fruit underpinned by tar, eucalyptus and a touch of vanillin oak. There's juicy, satiny succulence to the midweight palate. Pure, firm, fresh and balanced, this is just what Aussie Syrah should be. *Editors' Choice* (CP)" (07/2023) 92 points Vinous: "Bright ruby. Spice-tinged dark berry liqueur, cola, mocha and flor...

95 points James Halliday: "At first, this offers hedonistic pleasure as it’s supple and inviting with layers of flavour deep and rich. It’s savoury and quite plush with lots of texture via cashew-like creamy lees, but it’s also not overworked. It has restraint and detail. There’s a superfine line of acidity keeping all elements in there place, stitching them together harmoniously." (10/2023) 93 points James Suckling: "Sliced apples, green pears, saltines, lemons, thyme and sea shells on the nose. Sharp and saline with a medium body. Mouthwateringly fre...

95 points James Halliday: "Sports the prettiest musk-pink colour, but don't assume this is a particularly sweet or lightweight rosé. It's anything but. Fresh, crunchy acidity provides the basis for a display of striking fruit intensity: cherry, cranberry, acacia, pepper, spice. A light spray of juicy sweet fruit brings added succulence and length. Seriously good rosé, whatever the occasion." (11/2022) 92 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Grenache Mourvédre Rosé Is lovely. It’s delicious every year. With freshness and clarity of fruit, it's not hugely com...

96 points Decanter: "Like the stern but beautiful Norse goddess this wine is named after, it is formidable: bone dry, stoic and confident. Built around an austere line of sharp citrus, it also has good mineral grip and a pleasing lick of talc at the finish. There’s a concentration of flavours without forcing any element, amplifying the attributes of a superior vintage. Effortless balance is achieved in this powerful wine." (10/2023) 92 points James Suckling: "Typically regional riesling that is palpably dry, mid-weighted and tensile, requiring a couple...

95 points James Halliday: "Year in year out this cabernet delivers – even in difficult years such as 2021 (rain events and high humidity during harvest). If anything, this is quite tight and needs more time in the cellar, if you can’t wait, decant. It reveals an exuberant fruit profile, given its youth, from mulberries and cassis to blackberries all offset by complex savoury notes, think nori, iodine and tapenade, a flutter of spice, too and a little smoky. It’s fine boned in a way, as it’s just medium-bodied with filigree tannins, neat acidity and a rad...

92 points James Halliday: "A McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Clare Valley sourced shiraz matured in American oak (7% new) for 12 months. Deep crimson in the glass, the wine initially comes across a little shy, showing itself in the traditional Penfolds 'house style' after some time in the glass. Plentiful black and plummy fruit depth with hints of spice, roasting meats, soy sauce, charcuterie, Old Jamaica chocolate, licorice and earth. Tenses somewhat on the medium-length finish."

92 points Bob Campbell: "A middling ruby red colour without the deeper purplish hues of some new-wave young grenaches. Its subdued personality matches its appearance. It's not an out-there style, but it does have real savoury appeal. The nose has dry foresty notes, along with cherry kernel fruit and a whisper of Turkish delight. In the mouth it's dry and structured, restraint is the thing here, but it has presence, depth and length with a grippy tannin backbone that should ensure longevity. Really good" (12/2022) 92 points Vinous: "The 2021 Grenache is...

96 points James Halliday: "Made from two parcels, the early-picked parcel made with 40% whole bunches. The second, riper parcel was fully destemmed. Matured in seasoned oak for 10 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Deep ruby red. Vibrant and focused on the nose with an array of red and blue fruits, violets and mountain herbs. Medium bodied and plush, this delicious and energetic wine is framed by silky, very persistent tannins and juicy acidity. A thoughtful and well-put-together wine."

95 points James Halliday: "1927 Vines is fine example of the amazing versatility of the marsanne grape. It is probably its purest expression, capturing its essential beauty early and then allowing bottle age to bring complexity. From 2016 we see lovely florals emerging on the bouquet, showing signature honeysuckle, grilled grapefruit and almond development. Belies its age with a youthful energy and drive across the palate, lively acidity matched by a soft texture. By no means at its peak." (05/2022)

92 points James Halliday: "Super-fresh, verging on the stalky and grassy end of the spectrum, but it's good. Satisfying. The fruit is everything from pepperberries, blackberries, mulberries, some cassis, licorice, aniseed, fennel flower, flat-leaf parsley and bay leaf. In the mouth the wine is decidedly red fruited, straying into the raspberry and pomegranate space. Delicious drinking for the price, and immaculate packaging to boot. Compelling." (04/2022)
Price: $14.99
95 points Decanter: "Bright, crisp, tangy and black fruited (yes, black!), this is a delicious, lively and deceptively powerful wine. It has the same shape, style and minerality of a modern Monthélie, with herbs, spices and a fair old dollop of flashy oak. Peninsula still represents some of the most compelling value for money in the world if you are, like me, obsessed with the Pinot Noir grape. (MJ) " (09/2023) 91 points James Suckling: "How good is this for the price! Juicy, aromatic, vibrant and punchy. A mull of bing cherry, orange rind and clove. M...

91 points Bob Campbell: "Deep, dark purple-red colour with a smoky/sooty charcoaly nose with graphite and bitumen aspects, Very savoury on the tongue, but also quite rich and deep, with a stack of flavour underlined by measured but insistent tannins. Good each-way shiraz, to drink young or preferably keep a little while. Has in grunt what it lacks in elegance." (07/2023)

92 points James Halliday: "A decadent and lustrous crimson. Fine aromas of maritime cabernet, pointed and considerably refined for a wine at this price. Kelp, green olive, sage and currant are saturated, fulsome and expansive across the palate. Fine length due to a poised tannic kit, savvy oak handling and a stream of salty freshness. A bargain. (NW)" (04/2023)

92 points James Halliday: "A serious, young Nagambie Lakes cabernet from a region more noted for its shiraz. Blackberry, dark plum,, bracken and spice introduce a warm-hearted red with impressive regional earth and medium-bodied credentials set against a frame of fine tannins. Boasts cabernet's firm structure and a generous addition of woodsy spice and oak." (08/2022)
