Red Wine from Australia

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: A blend of 98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier made just prior to bottling, the 2016 RunRig is a complete masterpiece. It kicks off with elegant notes of pencil shavings accenting blueberries and blackberries on the nose, then...

Decanter, 95 points: Cascading chocolate and plum and a herbal bitters note. Serious depth, rigorous tannins and acidity. Read more at...

Decanter, 98 points: Viognier (6%) is co-fermented with Shiraz from RunRig cuttings planted in 1994. Like a great Côte-Rôtie, it starts with a thrilling nose and doesn’t let up until a week after you’ve put down the glass.

jebdunnuck.com, 99 points: The 2016 Shiraz RWT is a brilliant, brilliant wine, and I suspect the finest version of this cuvee ever produced. Thrilling notes of black raspberries, crème de cassis, toasted spice, mint, and espresso all emerge from...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Big and brawny, with a dense core of fresh blueberry, currant, raspberry and dusky spice flavors that sprawl over a layer of prickly tannins. It all melds together on the finish, shooting off sparks of espresso and...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Lithe and focused, layering its black cherry, plum and dark spice flavors on a polished frame, the tannins beautifully submerged to let the fruit and savory notes sail through the finish and keep singing. Best from 2009...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Lots of spice, dark chocolate, dried fruit and berry character on the nose and palate. Full body, round and chewy tannins. Long and flavorful finish. Loads going on. Drink now. Screw cap.

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: A very insightful blend of predominantly cabernet sauvignon with 16% malbec and 4% petit verdot. This is a single-vineyard wine at the pinnacle of the endeavors of Vasse Felix. It opens with red fruits in the redcurrant...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: Dark and dense, but not heavy, offering a remarkable sense of freshness to its ripe cherry, raspberry, blackberry, tea leaf, dark chocolate and smoke flavors, which compete for attention and finish with astonishing depth...

jamessuckling.com, 100 points: The 2010 Grange arrives with much expectation and does not disappoint. This is a powerhouse, structurally superior to both the 2009 and 2008 vintages and breathtakingly dense, long and precise. The nose has cola...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This is quite closed on the nose, the oak (57% new French) has it locked down in cedary armour, below sits ripe blackberry and red plum fruit aromas, some aged proscuitto meaty notes, orange zest and praline. The palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The dense purple-hued 2003 Syrah Liandra Vineyard reveals robust, meaty, smoky bacon fat characteristics along with black fruits and a hint of tar. Long and substantial, with a pure, well-balanced finish, it will drink...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Shirvington’s 2007 Shiraz spent 14 months in 80% new, mostly American oak. It displays an excellent nose of cigar box, lavender, cocoa, black cherry, and blueberry. This leads to a full-bodied, dense, structured Shiraz...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Youthful cabernet style here, showing plenty of blackcurrants and a tarry edge with dried plums, some raisins, mint and sweetly fragrant oak spices. The palate is very smooth and juicy. The fully ripe tannins are super...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: Primarily Grenache, this Rhône blend sees 12% of Mataro (aka Mourvèdre) and 12% of Shiraz, and both varieties add a savory peppery backbone to Grenache's up-front blueberry fruit. Aromas of kirsch, freshly ground pepper...
