The Signature Cabernet/Shiraz, Yalumba 2016

Immediate nose of beetroot juice poured over graphite shavings sets you up for quite a journey. The palate shares the same dense minerality and graphite texture as the nose with a quiet but growing presence of forest floor and frozen berries. On opening, this fruit thaws to release fresh summer pudding and cream served in a pencil case. Bonkers!

Alpha Box & Dice

Benchmark Shiraz is deep red with vibrant, youthful purple hues. A complex nose with soft plum fruit aromas and a touch of sweet vanilla. The palate is bursting with powerful berry fruit flavours, raspberries, black currant and adding to the complexity subtle peppered spice. A generous palate with well balanced tannins and a long satisfying finish. This delicious Shiraz is ideal for every day drinking and is an excellent companion to roasted meats, lamb curry or hearty Italian dishes.

Precise and pure Cabernet Sauvignon fruit delivering a fantastic blend of cassis and dark berry flavours.

Redman Wines

Larry Cherubino began his winemaking career with Houghton winery but by 2004 he and his wife Edwina were already preparing to go solo having acquired a small plot in Frankland River. They released their first wine in 2005 and have gone on to receive worldwide acclaim including Winery of the year from James Halliday, Matt Skinner and, most recently Matthew Jukes. Matthew’s “100 Best Australian Wines” has become something of an industry bible so the inclusion of 11 of Larry’s wines amongst the top 100 is no small accolade. Needless to say, this bright, full flavoured and slightly earthy Pinot is amongst the top 100 – it’s only made in the best years and we are really thrilled to include it here.

Aromas of beetroot and earth with black cherry, red flowers and oak delivered spices. The tannins are fine and soft with a fine acidity.
