Greenock Creek 'Seven Acre' Shiraz 2005
(96 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"The Seven Acres Shiraz was also aged for 28 months in seasoned American oak hogsheads. Tar, mineral, earth notes, smoked meat, and blueberry scents jump from the glass of this full-bodied but restrained (relatively speaking) Shiraz. On the palate it is a bit more austere than its siblings with a bit more structure and apparent acidity. As a result, it will require longer cellaring and should offer prime drinking from 2015 to 2030."

Mitolo 'GAM' Shiraz 2004
(97 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"Aged 18 months in primarily French oak, the 2004 Shiraz G.A.M. is an exceptional example of a precise yet full-flavored, concentrated Shiraz. Its gorgeous perfume of blueberries, blackberries, camphor, licorice, and pain grille is followed by an inky/blue/purple-colored wine offering superb purity, full-bodied richness, and gorgeous depth as well as texture. This fabulous effort is another example of Ben Glaetzer’s brilliant talents. It should drink well for 15 years."

Standish 'The Relic' Shiraz Viognier 2003
(96-98 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"The 2003 Shiraz/Viognier The Relic is made from 90-year-old Shiraz vines (93%) and Viognier (7%). Aged 30 months in 3- to 5-year-old French barrels, it is an opaque purple-colored offering boasting an extraordinary nose of creme de cassis intermixed with licorice, lead pencil shavings, pepper, and hints of truffles as well as white flowers. Fabulously textured, opulent, full-bodied, and marvelously concentrated, it should drink well for 12-15+ years. If you love the wines of Torbreck, you’ll also find this wine totally compelling.

Longview 'Block 11' Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
(95 POINTS - Tony Love, The Advertiser Food & Wine)
"Deeply ripe Cabernet aromas, cassis, liquorice, earth, festive spices, some dried herb and leaves. The oak contributes a veneer of sweetness and it builds nicely with aeration. The texture is striking, super smooth, almost creamy entry, supple, rich and ripe with mouth filling cassis flavours and good weight. Toasty oak pushes up through the finish, velour like tannins drawing a long focused finish. This is a sturdy robust Cabernet."

D'arenberg 'The Coppermine Road' Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
(95 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"Readers looking for sensationally concentrated, yet well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that can be drunk now or cellared for twenty years should check out the 1998 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon. It boasts a dense purple color as well as an exquisitely pure nose of cassis, oak, earth, cedar, and spice box. Full-bodied and powerful, with a seamless personality (because of the melted tannin), this large-scaled, classic southern Australian Cabernet Sauvignon can rival the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignons. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025."

Kalleske 'Greenock' Shiraz 2003
(96-100 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"A barrel sample of the 2003 Shiraz Greenock appears to be a virtually perfect wine. If it makes it into the bottle with minimal clarification, it will be one of the leading candidates for Barossa’s “Shiraz of the Vintage” in 2003."

Cloudy Bay 'Te Koko' Sauvignon Blanc 2006
(Possibly the best NZ Sauvignon Blanc ever produced)
"The 2006 Cloudy Bay Te Koko is an intriguing and alternative style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. A tantalising infusion of jasmine flowers and sweet garden herbs with lemon and mandarin citrus steeped in ginger spice. The palate is creamy and full yet finishes with an intuitively balanced lemon citrus twist. Subtle smoky oak with fermentation with indigenous yeast bring a rich savouriness to this wine."

Wirra Wirra 'Lost Watch' Riesling 2009
(95 POINTS - James halliday)
"A fragrant bouquet leads into an intense palate with lime juice, apple and mineral singing in unison, reaching a cresendo on the finish."

Greenock Creek 'Roennfedlt Road' Shiraz 2001
(99+ POINTS - Robert Parker)
"The 2001 Shiraz “Roennfeldt Road,” from an outstanding vintage, is the finest since the near-perfect 1998. Opaque purple/black, it offers a mind-boggling bouquet of pencil lead, earth, white truffle, pepper, violets, licorice, blackberry, and blueberry compote. Dense, opulent, and full-bodied, there are mouth-filling, spicy, blue and black fruit flavors with notes of chocolate in the background. This sensational effort demands 8-10 years of additional bottle age and should drink well through 2030."

Two Hands 'Zippys Block' Shiraz 2005
(99 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"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, licorice, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This leads to a shockingly elegant yet large-scaled Shiraz with a velvety-texture, layer upon layer of spicy blue and black fruits, beautiful harmony, and a 60+ second finish. Words can hardly do it justice. While it can be enjoyed now, you can bury it in the cellar, revisit it in 20-25 years, and it will still be mind-bogglingly hedonistic."

Jim Barry 'The Armagh' Shiraz 2002
(99 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"Amazingly, the 2002 Shiraz The Armagh is even better than the McRae Wood. This cuvee is aged 14 months in both French and American oak, and is bottled without filtration. The inky/purple-colored 2002 The Armagh boasts notes of scorched earth, chocolate, leather, blackberries, and cassis. Its huge body, marvelous integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, and stunning finish of 60+ seconds are impressive. While accessible, it will be even better with 1-2 more years of bottle age, and should evolve for 12-15+."

Kay Brothers 'Block 6' Shiraz 2001
(96-98 POINTS - Robert Parker)
"The 2001 Shiraz Block 6 Amery Vineyard is built along the lines of the 1998. With 14.8% alcohol, and huge levels of tannin balanced by a wealth of blackberry and cherry fruit intertwined with sweet notes of compost, smoke, camphor, and earth, this massively full-bodied, dense, opaque purple-colored effort is Shiraz at its most concentrated. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. Patience!"
