Mourvèrdre from Frankland River, West Australia
Outstanding perfume, violets and chocolates layered into earthy, almost truffled grape skins and blue fruits with a lick of darker Asian spices. Intoxicating and pure it just draws you in. One of those wines you can just sit and smell for ages. Layered tannins of this quality are a thing of beauty. Their playful grip is at just that right level to enliven and cleanse the palate. A triumph!Mouvèdre is more often seen as a blending component offering a superb perfume of violets and flowers, s
Grenache from Frankland River, West Australia
Freshness, delicacy and transparency all the way. Perfumed and floral with fine tannins incorporating a layer of stalk tannin. Tea and fresh blood orange on a core of vibrant blue fruits, with a savoury element, a little quality reduction. An exceptional example of grape first Grenache. A tiny splash of just 4% Mourvèdre in the mix here.Halliday 96 points Jukes 19+ Jordam 98
Red Blend from Clare Valley, South Australia

A celebration of an incredible old vineyard with plantings from the late 1800s. Tony & Lita are custodians of something truly special!Ranges from 80-50% Shriaz and 20-50% depending on the year Malbec from the 1919 and 1920 plantings.

Shiraz/Syrah from Pyrenees, Victoria
Since Julian Langworthy took on a leadership role at Dalwhinnie following the sale, it's fair to say there has been a constant improvement in both vineyard and winery. The result of greater precision are showing. The wines have shifted to a more grape first style, clunky oak of yesteryear is gone. Complexity and vitality have increased. The detail shows in the glass. After not having drunk and Eagle for some time the 2022 was a revelation.Excellent. Such seamless complexity, expressive with

Pinot Noir from Macedon, Victoria
The 2023 Block 8 begins with sweet fruits; red and dark cherry and red plum. Rhubarb and undergrowth appear with creaminess and brown spices adding additional complexity. Darshan like low cropping levels provide for a palate that is full to begin, creamy, silky, seamless in tannin flow, very long and structured. The emphatic and deliciously satisfying palate rolls on and on. It will improve for seven years and hold for that time again at the least. Michael D
Pinot Noir from Macedon, Victoria
The 2024 Block 8 combines rich sweet fruit with earth and savouriness. There's a lot going on here from this powerful close planted site that adjoins Block 5 as it sweeps north. Paradoxically, it is both deeply flavoured and closed at the same time. Ripe red and dark cherry and plum are evident with sweet gingerbread spices working with undergrowth and meatiness. The palate is rich and full, creamy, juicy, savoury, expansive and long. Seven plus years cellaring will be advantageous to begin with
