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

Brokenwood Verona Vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz 2023 scores 94 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From 1968 and 2002 plantings directly opposite the fabled Graveyard Vineyard, this is a Hunter Shiraz of black fruit depth and presence. Blackberries, blueberries and black liquorice are accented with sarsaparilla, laced with beautifully fine tannins and vibrant acidity. The decision to shun new oak in favour of one- and two-year-old barrels was astute, upholding the focus resolutely on deep, dark, pure fruit.” $100. @brokenwoodwines @huntervalley.wine @huntervalley #Brokenwood #HunterValley #94 ❤️

Angove Angels Rise Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “The restraint here may surprise some. While plump, ripe cherry and black plum fruit does lead the wine, there’s a trim of fine sandy tannin lending shape, plus, attractively, an underlying freshness and brightness. Choc-coffee notes, some woody, brown spices, but the requisite poise here makes the wine sing. A mellow, round and smooth red doing its thing well.” $50. @angovewine @mclaren_vale #mellow #round #smooth #94 ❤️
