Red Wine from Australia

Decanter, 95 points: Cascading chocolate and plum and a herbal bitters note. Serious depth, rigorous tannins and acidity. Drinking Window 2023 - 2039

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Hints of cedar join mint, pepper and bold berry fruit on the nose of the 2018 Entity Shiraz. Boysenberry and blueberry notes round out the medium to full-bodied palate, filling in any gaps in the plush-textured tannins...

Wine & Spirits, 95 points: There’s sunglow to this wine’s flavors, as if mirroring the cool, sunny autumn days in Margaret River that extended the growing season in 2015. There’s nothing dimpled about the fruit; it’s just warm and plump, with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: As usual, the 2017 RunRig is approximately 2% Viognier. It spent almost 30 months in oak, 40% of which was new. Hints of peach or apricot appear on the nose, alongside notes of hickory smoke, cherries and baking spices...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: A profound example of Ebenezer fruit and skilled winemaking, the 2017 Amon Ra Shiraz is full-bodied and velvety in texture, picking up more nuances the longer it sits in the glass. Floral and mint notes appear on the...

jebdunnuck.com, 99 points: (97-99 points) Simply stunning, the 2006 Torbreck Grenache Les Amis possesses stunning, massive aromatics of blackberry and cassis fruit mixed with licorice, meat and toasted spice. Complex, intense and nuanced. The...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Wow. This is a bold, brassy shiraz that carries a wealth of very intense aromas of ripe blackberries, dark plums, licorice and sweetly spiced earth. Still so very youthful and primary. The palate is so powerful, so...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: The 2005 Shiraz “Roennfeldt Road – Zippy’s Block” is sourced from one of the premier addresses in the Barossa and this wine shows why. It has a profound perfume of smoky, toasty oak, pencil lead, violets, leather...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2015 GSM Bin 138 offers up notions of kirsch, dried mulberries and Chinese five spice with wafts of lavender and garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has plush tannins and tons of...

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Epitomizes the lush, immediately approachable style, with a mouthfeel so creamy it almost seems liquorous or syrupy. The flavors are ultraclean and precise, marrying crème de cassis with vanilla and hints of coconut. Soft...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: The flagship 2004 Run Rig is 96.5% Shiraz and 3.5% Viognier with the Shiraz component aged for 30 months in a mixture of new and used French oak. Yields were a minuscule 14 hl/ha (about 1 ton per acre). Saturated opaque...

Wine & Spirits, 90 points: As light and fresh as it is sweet with candied cherry and caramelized flavors, this has an herbal, tobacco-like spice to keep that sweetness in check. The tannins are substantial but gentle, the fruit clean and soft...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2013 RunRig has a tantalizingly exotic nose of cloves, fenugreek, star anise and cassia with a core of mulberries, baked blackberries and blueberry preserves plus hints of potpourri and...
