"The nose is savory, with aromas of hot tar, mixed crushed wild herbs, soil, rocks, bitter orange and wild strawberry, before a more fruit-forward palate where cherries, strawberries and raspberries are balanced by abundant citrus, heat and salt. Integrated and cohesive, but lively. -DC"

"Made from Syrah grapes from the Thunderstone Vineyard in the Royal Slope AVA. This is neatly textured from the lees stirring. Melon and ripe strawberry fruit flavors combine with damp earthy tones on the palate. Enjoy now. Drink 2024-2029"

93 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

"Beautifully fruited and complex, the bouquet shows ripe apricot, honeydew melon and oatmeal characters with a hint of vanilla nuance. The palate displays good weight and rich texture, wonderfully framed by bright acidity, finishing long and harmonious. At its best: now to 2029."

A steely, mineral character lifts out of the glass with green apple, watermelon, and green Jolly Rancher notes. A juicy mid-palate carries candied berry fruit, tempered by a more savory profile, finishing with complex salty crushed-stone minerality and subtle cherry pit nuances.

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.

95 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

"Beautifully poised and finely expressed, the wine shows green apple, nectarine, lemon pith, and white floral notes on the nose, followed by a linear palate offering excellent focus and drive. Superbly structured by vibrant acidity, finishing long and refined. At its best: 2027 to 2039."

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.

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.

"The 2022 ‘Downshift’ was stored in all large format neutral oak barrels before bottling. Toasty oak and Japanese pear notes combine with shades of pie crust on the nose. The palate is plush and soft with serious viscosity and texture. This is a steal at 19 bucks a bottle. Drink 2024-2030"

A touch of graphite and savory spice adds dimension as the wine flows toward a long, polished finish.

If you enjoy the elegant coconut perfume issued by Bumble and bumble's Creme De Coco Shampoo, you must try this wine. A perfect coconut aroma blends seamlessly with icy lemon granita and aloe vera notes. A lightning bolt of acidity drives flavors like ripe nectarines, wet slate, rosemary and lime. Lather up.

95 Michael Apstein - Wine Review Online

The outstanding 2019 Domani displays more floral elements than the excellent 2018. Still youthful, the bright red rather than black fruit flavors of this Barolo seem to dance on the palate. Polished tannins are present — it is Barolo, after all — yet not intrusive. Overall, the 2019 is less weighty with less tar and more roses compared to the 2018. This is a long and pretty Barolo. Drink now to capture it youthful charm or plan on finding a place in your cellar where it can rest for a decade.

This is a bright and fruit-forward white garnacha with green mangoes, lime zest, elderflowers and green apples on the nose. Medium-bodied, crunchy and flavorful, with pretty almond blossom notes coming through at the end. Drink now.

"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"

Perfumed with citrus blossom, a saffron edge. Luscious lime and white peach palate core, luxurious mineral-saline finale.
