(6/30/2017) "Polished and expressive, with a hint of caramel and brown sugar to smooth out the dense black cherry and plum flavors. Dark chocolate, spice and toasted tobacco notes are aromatic and generous on the long finish. Drink now through 2028. 2,385 cases made."

(6/29/2016) "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2014 Brooks Road Shiraz possesses baked blueberries and Black Forest gateau flavors. This Syrah is meaty - savory in style rather than a fruit-bomb - with dark chocolate and licorice nuances. Rich and full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins, it is more structured on the palate. The finish is long and harmonious. Drink 2016-2030."

Jauma "Like Raindrops" McLaren Vale Grenache 2015
92
Our Score
(9/2017) "Like Raindrops" is 100% Grenache sourced from three different sites in the McLaren Vale of South Australia. All the vineyards are farmed organically and nothing is added or taken away from any of the wines. They are beautifully pure and energetic wines, and "Like Raindrops" is a perfect glimpse into wine maker James Erskine's style and mentality. The fruit is dazzling, with bright notes of red plums and fresh raspberries balanced by fresh soil tones and a light dusting of sweet and savory baking spices on the palate, while delicate aromas forest floor, wild flowers and rose petals waft from the glass. The tannins are silky sweet and play lovely with the bright acidity, easily tempting another sip. There are some truly remarkable and incredibly delicious Natural wines coming out of Australia these days. Jauma is one not to miss.

Two Hands "Sexy Beast" McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Wine Advocate
(8/31/2018) "The classically styled 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Sexy Beast features hints of mint and cocoa on the nose, alongside cassis and baking spices. It's medium to full-bodied, with a certain amount of varietal reserve, meaning it doesn't completely fill the mouth or coat the palate like Shiraz but shows a crisp, linear and well-defined finish."

Yangarra "Estate" McLaren Vale Old Vine Grenache 2014

James Suckling
(1/11/2017) "A stunning old-vine rendering of grenache from a sandy outcrop of McLaren Vale, this has a very powerful yet composed feel to it. The nose has an almost brooding and cryptic air about it. It floats around in a spice-infused cloud of cloves, pepper and cinnamon; it's gently tarry, offering up red plums and dark-berry aromas that are concentrated and build momentum with air. Sturdy, clean-cut tannins deliver staggering fruit concentration with a wealth of ripe dark-cherry and plum flavors. Terrific length. This has much on offer now and much to come in time. Outstanding value. Best from 2020."

(8/2017) "One of the noticeable traits about Yangarra's wines, GSM in particular, there's nothing harsh or worked, there's a purity of fruit that comes through, the balance of tannins to acidity, and this not shy with the latter. The right amount of spice and avour and most importantly, crafting a really, delicious drink."

(6/30/2018) "Shows good density to the bittersweet chocolate, hazelnut and blackberry pie flavors, with sink-your-teeth-into-them tannins that add richness to the complex blend of flavors. Clove, nutmeg and cumin aromas linger on the long finish. Drink now through 2028."
