Rockford Cabernet
$84.99
From Rockford, we welcome high quality traditional wines made from some of the best old Barossa vineyards. The winery is actually part of a paved courtyard surrounded by the stone buildings that date back to the early settlement of Krondorf. Robert Parker consistently awards their Cabernet Sauvignon with low 90s or high 80s, noting the wine's excellent cedary, tobacco, and black currant characters.
Moss Wood Margaret River Pinot Noir 2017
$59.99
The 2017 Vintage of the Moss Wood Pinot Noir spent 19 months ageing in French oak barrels, with 10% of them being new.
Moss Wood Chardonnay
$61.99
All the features that give Moss Wood Chardonnay its distinctiveness are on display. The fruit aromas are of peach, orange marmalade, honeysuckle and quince, plus, of course, the usual roast nuts and oat biscuits. There is a light toasty background from the barrels and a touch of caramel and crème brulee from the malolactic fermentation. The palate is full bodied with good acidity and tannin but this firm structure is well and truly complemented by the fruit flavours. There is an array of peach, lime, quince and caramel that provide length and breadth and the finish shows some soft, toasty oak and just enough tannin for good cellaring. Great for pairing with cream-based dishes.
Dagueneau Pinot Noir
$29.99
This is a delightfully surprising Pinot Noir from the Central Vineyards of the Loire, a region better known for fresh and ultra-crisp whites. It bursts with ripe cherry and raspberry, along with blackberry and blueberry notes. A touch of well-rounded oak adds richness along with meaty and mushroom flavours from a touch of age. Sure, it's juicy and rich enough to drink with turkey, but if you lean more towards beef tenderloin or a striploin, it will be perfect!

If you're going to buy one Carlisle (why just one?) - make it this one. A rock-star 2018 vintage for the Carlisle vineyard, showcasing the power and elegance of their 95-year-old Zinfandel vines.
Ready to drink but even better left to rest through 2030.

Rockford Basket Press Shiraz
$107.99
"The nose opens to reveal scents of loamy earth, blackberries, currants, pepper, and underbrush. The complex aromatics are matched by a savory, fleshy, structured, full-bodied palate possessing loads of earthy black fruits as well as subtle oak. It is a beautifully intense, old vine Shiraz meant for long-term cellaring," says Robert Parker. 94 points. Drink now through 2019.
Dagueneau Pouilly Fume
$34.99
The flagship Pouilly Fume / Sauvignon Blanc from Dagueneau is pale lemon-green colour, complex and finely woven, with notes of delicately smoky elderflower and citrus fruits. The palate is full bodied and beautifully concentrated. With intense, flinty-grapefruit flavours and a luscious, silky texture, the finish is vivacious and lip-licking.
