Gibson The Prospect Barossa Shiraz Montepulciano 2023 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A charismatic blend of Shiraz, lending dark fruit and spice, while Montepulciano brings earthy depth, pep of red cherry and a touch of dusty chew. Mulberries, black cherries, dried herbs and cocoa notes rumble through well. Plush yet energetic, it carries plenty of richness but remains lively, savoury and deliciously drinkable. Complexity writ large.” $40. @gibsonwines @barossawines @mikebennie101 #charismatic #blend ❤️
Victory Point Margaret River Chardonnay 2023 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Quite the fine wine here. Offers up zesty, just-ripe peach and pear, some lemon balm and flinty minerality, dashes of cinnamon, a lick of sugared almond. The palate and bouquet in accord. The wine is carrying freshness and persistence alongside gentle oak complexity in a wrap that speaks of finesse winemaking. A stylish Chardonnay that balances generosity and restraint with admirable ease.” $60. @victorypointwines @margaretriver.wine @mikebennie101 #Chardonnay ❤️

Curtis Family Vineyards Small Batch Durif 2025 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Durif’s signature intensity is on full display here – right on. Dense black fruits, chocolate, lavish sweet spice and dashes of cocoa powder and figs. All this bold in perfume, wrapped in firm tannins and delivered with substantial texture. Hang on, freshness keeps things moving. A bold, deeply flavoured wine with plenty of personality and admirable balance.” $80. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mikebennie101 @mclaren_vale #bold #flavoured #personality #balance 💜
Curtis Family Vineyards Gladiator McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A bold, full-flavoured Shiraz of heft and high five glory. It wears its regional character proudly and distinctly, unctuous, ripe, soft, bold. Blackberry, plum, liquorice and woody spice notes surge across the palate and through the fog of the bouquet. Rich and generous, lush, yet framed by thick, firm tannins and then finishes with curious blood orange freshness. A hearty, satisfying wine that delivers flavour without apology.” $228. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mclaren_vale @mikebennie101 #bold #fullflavored ❤️👏
