Lenton Brae Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec Petit Verdot 2023 scores 94 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From vines planted in 1983, to the tune of just 3,200 bottles, this is a quintessential Wilyabrup Cabernet of crafted refinement and grace. Cabernet Sauvignon asserts a confident lead, eloquently backed by the savoury structure of 15 percent Malbec and the depth and lift of five percent Petit Verdot. A core of crunchy blackcurrant fruit is impressively supported by finely woven, well-integrated tannins and a focused line of natural acidity. Great potential.” $80. @lentonbraewine @margaretriver.wine #refinement #grace #94 ❤️

The Lane Vineyard Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc scores 92 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The purity and poise on display here are testimony to the balance and calm in these Balhannah and Lobethal vines at 300-450m elevation, even in the midst of the Adelaide Hills’ driest growing season on record. Pungent concentration of guava, passionfruit and gooseberry are true to the season, but to its credit it never turns broad or flabby, with the vibrancy of cool night acidity holding pose and focus through a long finish.” $25. @thelanevineyard @adelaidehillswine #SauvignonBlanc #balance #calm #92
