Wine from Australia

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: One of Margaret River's (and Australia's) iconic Chardonnays, Leeuwin's 2014 Art Series Chardonnay continues that proud tradition. Never shy on toasty, nutty oak or bold fruit, the 2014 features both seamlessly woven...

James Halliday, 94 points: Good colour; a complex wine with an unusual, albeit pleasing, progression of aromas and flavours: hints of spice and mint, then dark berry fruits on the mid-palate, and finally a rising swell of earthy/licorice/liqueur...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Who would've thought that in the context of Barossa Shiraz, the 2015 RunRig would seem like a relative bargain? It's certainly much less expensive than Grange or Hill of Grace will be when they're released. It's also more...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Deep garnet-black with a hint of brick, the 2006 Hillside Shiraz has pronounced notes of smoked game, hung meat, dried plums and kirsch, some cigar boxes, Chinese five spice and mocha. Structured, rich, very full and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The Block 6 Shiraz comes from centurion vines plated in 1896. The 2006 Block 6 Shiraz has a very deep garnet color going a little brick in the rim and an evolved, earthy / gamey nose with notes of mulberries, dried plums...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Amazingly rich and seductive a towering wine with layers and layers of rich blackberry plum cherry and sweet spice flavors that cascade across a dense structure polished to a fare-thee-well so the flavors ring unopposed...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Ripe fleshy and generous but not nearly over the top with gorgeous cherry pomegranate black olive and bay leaf flavors arching beautifully and swirling through the long supple finish. Best from 2010 through 2017. 6500...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Deep garnet colored, the 2005 Hillside Shiraz reveals a wonderfully expressive, spicy nose with some notes of game, potpourri, dried cranberries and kirsch. It is a glorious, full-bodied wine packed with complex flavor...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: Slightly more reserved and deep than the ‘Barney’s Block’, the 2009 Two Hands Shiraz 'Coach House Block' Single Vineyard Seppeltsfield Road Greenock is a wine that slowly opens up over the evening and sports heavenly...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: D'Arenberg's most famous wine is its flagship The Dead Arm Shiraz. The 2005 The Dead Arm Shiraz is sourced from ancient head-pruned vines. It was aged for 22 months in a mix of new and used French and American oak. It is...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Dense, deep and brooding, delivering a complex mouthful of coffee-accented cherry, boysenberry, roasted meat and licorice flavors that meld together harmoniously and extend into the long, expansive finish. Tannins are...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The Shiraz for the 2006 The Descendant is sourced from a single vineyard and co-fermented with 8% Viognier. It was aged for 18 months in seasoned French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it emits an expressive, sexy perfume of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Cyril Henschke (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Merlot) exhibits a Bordeaux-like austerity as well as aromas and flavors of tobacco smoke, licorice, spice box, red currants...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Say what you will about a Cabernet Sauvignon with 18% alcohol, ultimately it is balance that counts. The fruit is sourced from the Greenock region of the Barossa, one of the Valley’s premier terroirs, and the 2005 is 100%...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Shows some subtlety, sliding its juicy blackberry and plum fruit through a veil of fine-grained tannins, with pepper and mineral overtones. Has a deft sense of harmony and balance. Best from 2010 through 2016. 2,200 cases...
