1x Reschke Armenta Coonawarra Shiraz 2016 - 14.50% Alc
This hand-selected parcel of Shiraz fruit delivers a medium-bodied, fruit-driven wine with complex notes of dark berries with spice and subtle oak notes. With distinctive florals on the nose and velvety tannins, this wine delivers an intense, yet elegant lingering finish.
1x Viking Odins Honour Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019 - 14.50% Alc
Dark crimson red with dark black core. Rich earthy characters with an abundance of black fruit followed by hints of chocolate, licorice, leather, black pepper and oak. This is a big traditional style of Shiraz, which we recommend is decanted and allowed to breathe prior to consuming. Black fruits are at the forefront here and an earthy character reflecting its age is also evident although freshness from the fruit and natural acid highlights its ability to age further with ease. The oak and tannin melt into the fruit and some more subtle hints of leather and just a touch of black pepper create further complexity.

Generously proportioned with a rich and smooth texture that fills the palate. Flavours of plum and blackberry give way to a softly spicy and heady mix of dark chocolate, pepper, mint and liquorice. A long lasting and velvety finish, elongated by the fine, powdery, slightly grippy tannins. Vibrant acidity ensures a fresh balance.
1x Shanahans The Reaper Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 15.00% Alc

Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz 2021
94 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson Halliday Wine Companion
"It's spicy and well fruited but mostly it's an exercise in putting all the various components exactly where they should be. Everything here feels exact, and exacting. Red cherried fruit, black pepper notes, integrated cedar oak and drifts of assorted florals, all of which hone to a long, peppery finish. It's mid-weight at most and it's all it needs to be. This is the kind of wine that gives elegance its good name."
94 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot
"Beautiful, perfumed aromas greet from the start, cherry and dark plum with a spicy raspberry nuance. The palate is medium bodied and elegantly presented with those cherries and blackberry flavours emerging with a little sprinkle of pepper and dried herbs. The oak is well-weighted with the fine chalky tannins in support."
93 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front
"Quite the dramatic name, is Cliff Edge. Could also be the name of an Australian private eye, and I’m something of a huge fan of the Cliff Hardy novels by Peter Corris. Anyway, that aside, average age of vines is now 25 years, and it gets 30% new French oak.Black cherry, raspberry, five spice, a little cedar oak. It’s medium to full-bodied, with plenty of cherry and forest berry fruit flavour, a fine dusty/peppery feel to tannin, quite fresh, with maybe something a little more savoury in the aftertaste, like black olive. The length is good also. It’s a good Cliff Edge, and also a rock solid expression of regional Shiraz."
92 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"The 2021 Shiraz Cliff Edge is rocky and purple on the nose with crushed granite, blackberry, white pepper and raspberry compote. Not hugely complex, but it is hugely satisfying. This is a concentrated, cool-climate Shiraz. It's a great (super) value at around $30 AUD. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

"The nose is distinctive, fragrant, and spicy. The palate is underscored by sweet, luscious dark fruits, oak, chocolate, and spice. There is excellent overall balance and a lovely, firm texture."
94 Point Rated & 5 Star Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit|
“It's richly fruited and opulent, showing dark fruit intensity, dried herb, fine leather and toasty oak characters on the nose. The palate is wonderfully generous with an abundance of ripe fruit flavours with spicy/savoury nuances. It's mouthfilling and delectable with a persistent, gutsy finish. At its best: now to 2037. $90.00.”

"Immensely complex and fragrant, the bouquet is filled with dark fruit richness, charcuterie, spicy oak and mocha characters, leading to a concentrated palate offering plush mouthfeel backed by bold tannins, finishing lingering and sturdy. At its best: now to 2033."
96 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot
"A marvelous example of Coonawarra Shiraz. It’s powerful yet so beautifully refined. Deeply concentrated spicy dark fruit characters burst from the glass. It is a plush and generously appointed wine of tremendous poise. A mix of French and American oak has been used perfectly, contributing to a wine that retains its life and energy through to that very long finish."

"Dark chocolatey nose with good dash of spices and black pepper. This wine has a lovely, long, rich, dark fruit palate balanced with spicy characters and oak."
92 Point Rated - Aaron Brasher The Real Review
"Dark, inky and opaque in the glass. Juicy, jubey, ripe and plush aromas of plum, spice, cola and charry oak. Big, chunky and chewy on the palate. Plum, charry oak and sweet spice drive this beast. Decadent, richly flavoured and with plenty of juice."
92 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
"The 2021 The Reaper Shiraz is dark, dense and brooding aromatically, with bitter chocolate, black licorice, sweet roasted bone marrow, blood plum and tapenade. In the mouth, the wine is shaped by gravelly, gritty tannin and plenty of oak. 15% alcohol, sealed under Diam."
