Calabria Family Wines Alternato Montepulciano Nero d’Avola 2024 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A vibrant, Italianate blend bustling with sour cherry, wild raspberry, blood orange tang and a sprig of dried herbs. Juicy upfront and lightly grippy through the finish, there’s a rustic charm here and yet drinkability is on song. Interesting, quietly complex, something out of the box and good.” $45. @calabriafamilywines @barossawines #vibrant #interesting #complex 🍷👏

Angove Angels Rise Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A little judicious maturity here. A rich yet lifted, brooding red with dark and ripe forest berries lashed with sweet spice, choc-mint, ferrous earthiness and pretty violet lift. Tannins are plush, a little grunty, and well-integrated, supporting the generous fruit core. A bold strike with a touch of pleasing benign decay. In the zone.” $50. @angovewine @mclaren_vale #rich #lifted #94 🍷
