Extremely Drinkable, Amazing Value Reds.
Mike Press Pinot Noir 2010
Adelaide Hills, S.A.
Burgundy it isn’t, however this mid-weight pinot delivers more bang for buck than anything else at the price. With a commitment to making the best value wine possible, this fruit forward style has sweet cherry & plum, a wee bit of spice & fine, slippery tannins.

Ventisquero Merlot 2011
Maipo Valley, CHILE
Merlot has had a bad wrap for too long now, which is a shame considering it is a major component of some of the world’s most expensive wines. Whilst this pretty little thing doesn’t have delusions of grandeur, it does hit the mark; pure blackcurrent fruit, a whiff of vanilla, dusty notes & fine tannins. |

Dal Zotto Sangiovese Cabernet 2011 King Valley, VIC
A true Italian blend that remains faithful to the style; bright red fruit, sour cherry & dried herbs gives way to plummy notes, classic, leafy cabernet & soft tannins. Great length & structure-bring on lunch! |

Atze’s Corner “Big A” Shiraz 2011 Barossa Valley, S.A.
Traditional Barossa shiraz may not necessarily be considered drinkable by some, but we’ve uncovered a gem that may change your mind. With help from Kalleske & Spinifex, this is moulded in a modern style; lifted fruit with loads of plum, super soft & slurpy, it is lighter than the nose would have you think. Velevety tannins & good acidity. |

Tim Smith “Bugalugs” Grenache 2012 Barossa Valley, S.A.
Another trip to the Barossa, another new generation wine maker challenging popular conception about the region. Lovey nose of whole bunch spice, fresh strawberry & raspberry, anise & a lick of oak. Beautifully textured & structured.

Miette Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2010 South West, FR
A hat trick of the Barossa is complete with this truly delicious drop made by Pete Schell of Spinifex. Ripe raspberry, plum, confectionary & spice. Medium bodied with soft, fine grained tannins
