Tasting Notes:

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.

1x Jackman Vineyards Estate Range Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 - 15.00% Alc

Full bodied fruit forward Barossa valley Shiraz, blackberry, plum fruits dominate the palate whilst fruitcake, summer berries and floral all play pivotal roles. Fine tannins, oak and fruit provide the backbone.

1x The Colonial Estate Richard Lander Old Vine Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019

1 x Normans Peacock McLaren Vale Shiraz Cabernet 2016

Deep dark red colour, the bouquet of dark fruit and dried herbs and earth on the nose with hints of mocha and chocolate. The palate is full of soft dark fruit flavours when allowed to breathe, there is a natural earth character to the wine reminiscent of a Southern Rhone style blend. Blackberry, and blackcurrant in highly concentrated amounts, dark plum, liquorice all provide an opulent yet not overpowering feel. Spicy vanillin cedar, subtle earthy tobacco character and a touch of pepper.

1x Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz 2021 - 14.50% Alc

Red and black cherries, ripe raspberry, boysenberry and a lick of baking spice. Morello cherry, blackberries and raspberries along with a mix of cloves, cardamom and white pepper. Fine tannins and an understated length provided by a delicate acid line.

1x Crown & Anchor McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023

Full flavoured with black and blue fruits, violets, olives, plum and oak. Lovely length and structure with flavours of mulberry, blueberry, olive, and chocolate. Bright, lush full flavoured wine which is brilliantly balanced with spice and tannin. Generous and voluptuous depth of oak with silk like finish.

1x Magarey Lane Glenroy Coonawarra Shiraz 2016 14.50% Alc

This delicious Shiraz is dark and focused, displaying concentrated notes of dark cherry, plum and red berry. With plum and magnolia on the mid palate, this sleek and layered wine has plush tannins and excellent depth of character.

1x Reschke Armenta Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 - 14.50% Alc

This hand-selected parcel of Cabernet fruit delivers a rich and fruit-driven wine with flavours of morello cherry and blackcurrant, followed by hints of pepper spice. The wine provides a full-bodied structure, silky tannins, and excellent varietal characteristics – for that lasting impression.

1x Kellys Promise Reserve McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016 - 14.50 %

Deep crimson red to ink. Black fruit, lifted violets, kalamata olives, some spice and earth characters. Polished and rounded the mid palate has considerable weight with black fruit flavours, cassis, violets, olives, spice, game meat, tannin and oak notes. Muscular and powerful in its youth ensuring longevity. Drinking well as an aged release 4 years post vintage and will continue to drink well into the next decade post release to circa 2030 and beyond.

1x Kilikanoon Omen Shiraz 2017 14.50% Alc

Deep inky purple in colour. Aromas showing subtle notes of vanilla, blackberries, pepper and eucalyptus against an alluring background of liquorice and soft oak. Gorgeous and aromatic. 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

Concentrated fruit flavours of blackberry, plum, black olive, dark chocolate and earth. Allowing the wine time to open up will reveal a natural fruit elegance and perfectly engulfed oak flavours. The finish is long with perfectly balanced natural fruit acid and silky-smooth tannins which will ensure the longevity of this release.

"Pleasant fruit cake bouquet. Matched nicely by a lovely, rich palate loaded with sweet plum flavours and a soft tannin finish."

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."

Crown & Anchor McLaren Vale 2023

95 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"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.”

Magarey Lane Glenroy Coonawarra Shiraz 2016

97 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"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."

95 Point Rated - Wine Showcase Magazine

95 Point Rated & 5 Stars Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"A gorgeous rendition of the variety, showing blackcurrant, cedary oak, dried herb and toasted spice aromas, followed by a finely expressed palate that's succulent and supple. Wonderfully framed by layers of chalky tannins, finishing harmonious and persistent. At its best: now to 2036. $130.00."

Kellys Promise Reserve McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016

96 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"Powerful and opulent, the wine shows dark fruit richness, cake spice, mocha and toasty oak characters. The concentrated palate displays excellent depth and plush texture, wonderfully complemented by layers of silky tannins, making it sumptuous and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2030. $150.00."

97 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"This is graciously rich and sensually appealing with blackberry, toasted spice, tar, anise and roasted nut aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that's packed with lavish texture and layers of velvety tannins. Engaging and symphonic with a prolonged, gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2040. $150.00. April 2024."

Shanahans The Reaper Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

98 Point Rated - Winestate Magazine

"Classic Barossa shiraz with an inviting combination of dark fruit, chocolate, floral and oak aromas. Wonderfully balanced wine which is silky smooth with impeccable tannin structure."

96 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"Richly ripe and inviting with dark plum, raspberry, rich floral, vanilla and hazelnut aromas, it's succulent and weighty in the mouth with silky texture and polished tannins. The wine is fruit forward with spicy undertones, displaying generous, supple mouthfeel with a beautiful rounded finish. At its best: now to 2033."

96 Point Rated - Melbourne International Wine Show 2024

95 Point Rated - Wine Showcase Magazine

"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."
