This deep violet-red wine has a nose of blackberry, violet and pencil lead. It is bright at first sip, filling the mouth with red berry flavors accompanied by notes of menthol, milk chocolate, cherry pipe tobacco and clove that are sheathed in a layer of downy tannins. The finish is marked with a soft note of lavender.

95 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

"It's richly fruited and immediately appealing on the nose with black/blueberry, vanillin oak, toasted spice, and rich floral aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with terrific weight and persistency, superbly complemented by fleshy texture and layers of supple tannins, making it opulent and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2037."

The source of the fruit for this excellent cabernet is the vineyards in Wilyabrup in this very good cabernet year. An opening salvo of blackcurrant and dark chocolate, and plummy nuances announces this as Margaret River cabernet. It’s generous and intense, but more towards elegance and medium-bodied. Seamlessly integrated, with the use of 30% French oak adding a little palate kick. A complete and polished cabernet.

94 Wine Pilot

A sweet fruited, warm and generous embrace of Margaret River Cabernet. The region does it so well, its Mediterranean climate providing some well-ripened black fruits here – blackberry, dark plum, cassis – with background notes of woody spices, anise, vanillin oak, leaf, earth, briar and a tantalising hint of eucalyptus. Approachability is high with its soft, round curves and overall elegance. Some smart oak integration and immediate drinking pleasure right now will have drinkers tossing up whether to open now or wait a little longer. Why not both? Mid-term ageing is definitely on the cards.

A pale pink shade in the glass with a delicate mousse, this bottling offers citrus pith, nectarine and pink rose petal aromas on the engaging nose. The palate is very energetic and lively with orange blossom, Meyer lemon and light grapefruit flavors.

If you enjoy the elegant coconut perfume issued by Bumble and bumble's Creme De Coco Shampoo, you must try this wine.

Briary red fruit aromas blend seamlessly with notes of violets and cedar to give the impression of a raspberry coulis served in the garden. Beautifully balanced acidity and tannins, with restrained alcohol, makes it so easy to sip the night away on the pure, distilled essence of marionberries, along with a bit of sage

94 Wine Enthusiast

"An earthy coolness, of soil, herbs, salt and tart berries defines the nose, while the palate is simultaneously direct, balanced and ethereal, as delicate, savory overtones hover above a precise fruit element and a latent, simmering heat. -DC"

95 Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits Journal

This Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon leans into the appellation’s unmistakable character: dark fruited, finely structured, and marked by a savory mineral edge. Layers of black plum, cassis, dark cherry, cocoa, graphite, and warm spice build across the palate, framed by supple tannins and a long finish. The wine’s hallmark is its balance – concentrated and polished, with the dusty Rutherford signature giving it depth, grip, and a clear sense of place. Get it while you can, this is a lovely wine.

This is an easygoing and affordable example of modern, cool climate Aussie Pinot. Ripe red berries bounce from the glass, followed by quieter aromas of florals, baking spice and a slight mushroomy savoriness. The palate is light to medium in weight, fleshy and round, but with a tug of savory tannins holding it all together. Knock back slightly chilled, with or without food.

93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Light and delicate, with crunchy fruit and flint, cranberry and raspberry aromas and flavors. Light-bodied and spicy at the end. Crunchy, crisp and bright. A joy to drink everyday. Drink now.

The Fattoria le Pupille 2024 Morellino di Scansano is led by Sangiovese with small percentages of Alicante and Ciliegiolo that bring extra brightness and energy. In Maremma, complex soils of volcanic deposits layered with ancient marine sediments define the character of the region, and for this wine, the Sangiovese is planted on sandstone soils that enhance elegance and aromatic lift, while other parcels feature pietra serena, red clays and limestone matched carefully to the appropriate variety. The bouquet offers redcurrant, myrtle and fragrant herbal notes of fresh rosemary and thyme, evoking the herb garden that lines the walkway to the estate’s newly inaugurated tasting room and visitor center. This wine offers phenomenal value.

91 Wine Enthusiast

The nose is a mix of crunchy red fruit and flowers, as cherries mingle with peonies, plus a touch of orange peel for texture and density. Strawberries and raspberries join more cherries on the palate, with earth and bitter citrus underneath. Fresh and vibrant.

The 2022 Cabernet Franc is peppery, fresh and lifted. It displays crushed raspberries complicated by dried roses and violet pastilles. It splashes across the palate with ease, showcasing savory red berry fruits and hints of citrus. Brisk acidity maintains energy throughout as this finishes with staining length and gentle tannins, leaving a pleasantly chewy feel.

92 Wine Enthusiast

A wine that smells and tastes like blackberries is off to a fine start. Additional aromas of violets, petrichor and pie crust are matched bonus flavors of clove and a saline note similar to squid ink. There's plenty of acidity here,along with velvety tannins, to match up with those berries. Give me a glass of this wine with a bowl of homemade beef barley soup and I will be a happy human.

92 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

"This is attractively fragrant and inviting on the nose with dark berry, green olive, clove and toasted almond characters. The palate is equally attractive with succulent fruit intensity combined with silky texture and fine-grained tannins, finishing lingering and sturdy. At its best: now to 2033."

91 The Real Review

"Moderately intense cabernet sauvignon with dark berry/blackberry, vanilla and cedar flavours. Dense, almost chewy wine with a firm tannic backbone. Aerate to enjoy the wine at its best."

90 Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Granito del Cadalso has more fruit and is rounder, more approachable-looking, from locations in the valley that deliver that profile. It fermented mostly in concrete vats, destemmed and with indigenous yeasts, and had an élevage in concrete of approximately six months. It has notes of red berries and herbs, with purity and a gentle mouthfeel through very fine, chalky tannins. 4,800 bottles were filled in April 2022.

94 The Real Review

A blend of cabernet sauvignon 53%, merlot 35% and cabernet franc 12%. Vinous rather than fruity with chocolate/mocha, dark berry, cedar and petrichor (rain on hot asphalt) flavours. A complex wine with rich, ripe tannins.

Ripe concentrated fruit. Good varietal character. Full mid palate. Luscious texture. Gold. 93 points.

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is spicy to the core, with a burst of wild herbs, musky green citrus and sea air that form its intense bouquet. This is juicy and soft-textured, blending lime-laced orchard fruits with a cascade of minerals and spice. Fresh, pleasantly tense yet a bit short, the 2025 does its job well by calling the taster back to the glass for more. – Eric Guido

92 Wine Spectator

"Broad-shouldered and deeply structured, with raspberry and cherry fruit leather flavors drawing in rose petal and herb tea accents as this builds tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 160 cases made. -TF"

91 Wine Enthusiast

"In a heck of a gearshift, the wine's initial aromas of black cherries and a chocolate Tootsie Pop evolve into an earthy mix of oregano and blackberry tea. The wine feels tart and lean on the palate, as bold acidity matches with flavors of dark raspberry-flavored drinking vinegar, black tea and another touch of oregano. -MA"

95 Jonathan Cristaldi - Cristaldi & Co

"Total elegance-this Pinot Noir weaves conifer notes around bright red berry, cherry, and pomegranate fruit, accented by flinty minerality and gorgeous cedarwood. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers cherry, blood orange, and cranberry, all lifted by crunchy cranberry acidity. The tannins are fine, firm, and taut-beautifully elongated and persistent through the long, spicy finish. A superbly built and absolutely delicious Pinot Noir. Winemaker Brian Gruber explains that this Pinot Noir is a blend of older plantings and newer vines established in 2018. Grapes are mostly destemmed, though select lots are fermented with whole clusters for blending flexibility. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel, with individual blocks vinified separately. After a short cold soak, native fermentations begin, accompanied by a regimen of pumpovers and punchdowns. Following primary fermentation, an extended maceration of up to 28 days builds mouthfeel, mid-palate weight, and structure. The wine is gently pressed, with primarily free-run juice selected for the final blend. It is aged in roughly one-third new French oak for up to 18 months before blending and bottling."
