Yalumba The Caley Coonawarra & Barossa Cabernet & Shiraz 2021 scores 100 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “This is not only the greatest wine to ever emerge from the hallowed halls of Yalumba, it is categorically the finest exemplar of the great Australian blend of the modern era, and the equal of the greatest in history. Kevin ‘KG’ Glastonbury’s relentless fanaticism has fused Coonawarra Cabernet with Barossa Shiraz (26 percent) to perfection, and I use this word very deliberately. While I was not alive at the time of its release, it has perhaps not been since Max Schubert’s legendary 1962 Penfolds Bin 60A that this union has been mastered with such breathtaking harmony. I have bestowed a perfect score on an Australian table wine only once in the past decade, and The Caley 2021 is every bit deserving.” $395. @yalumbawine @barossawines #100 #Perfect

First Ridge Uova Bella Mudgee Fiano Vermentino 2025 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Wild fermented and blended into ceramic egg for maturation. Attractive hazy texture with distinct green apple, gingery spice, piquant lemon-lime married to saline minerality and a backdrop of hazelnut savouriness. This manages to find a pretty thrilling line between textural white wine, minerally white and high drinkability, and an almost summery feel. Massive charm.” $45. @firstridge @mudgeeregion #attractive #charm #94 🙌❤️

Robert Oatley Finisterre Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 scores 92 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “A standout in the Robert Oatley lineup, this is an accurate Wilyabrup Cabernet that captures the elegance of a cool, late harvest in blackcurrant fruit accented with tobacco leaf, cedar and nuances of eucalypt. From vines averaging 20 years of age, a medium-grained tannin profile promises to hold it confidently for the medium term.” $40. @robertoatleywines @margaretriver.wine #Cabernet #Sauvignon #92 ❤️

Ubertas Wild North Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2021 scores 93 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “A new bargain Barossa blend from a single estate vineyard of 70+ year-old vines that captures the brightness and detail of the great 2021 harvest. The crunchy blueberry, blackberry and satsuma plum fruit of Shiraz is accented with the blackcurrants of 30 percent Cabernet, nicely resolved with two years in French oak barriques. It trumps many Barossa reds at two or three times its price. One for the cellar.” $36. @ubertaswines @barossawines #brightness #detail #93 ❤️
