6 exceptional wines – read on for all of the details Serafino Cab 2018 Trophy – New Zealand international Wine Show – Champion Cabernet Sauvignon Trophy – Best Cabernet of Show, McLaren Vale Wine Show 95pts from Huon Hooke (at time of writing this made it #1 2018 McLaren Vale Cab reviewed by ‘The Real Review’ headed by Huon) Long, polished and plush, with plenty of varietal fruit and a streak of salinity. Quite a triumph for McLaren Cabernet which can struggle to make awesome, authentic Cab. Serafino have a habit of making the unexpected happen though (they also make superb McLaren Chardonnay). This isn’t merely good ‘for McLaren Vale’ it is superb Cab full stop. There’re black fruits, graphite, plump tannins and great length and depth. The kinda Cab you can just lean into and have it regale you. Serafino GSM 2019 95pts The Real Review (at time of writing this made it the #1 2019 Australian Grenache blend in Huon Hooke’s Real Review) Winepilot Trophy #1 Grenache blend 96pts James Halliday – highest pointed 2019 McLaren Vale GSM in Halliday’s Wine Companion at time of writing Young and super tight, this GSM has a long future ahead of it. Drop it in a decanter or vroom it through a vinturi if you are going to drink it now. The good stuff is as follows... blue fruits, black tea, cherries, plums, spice, musk, focused acidity and silky tannins. In the bad stuff column... nuttin! Two Sisters Barossa Shiraz 2016 Highlight 97pts Kim Brebach The 2015 edition was a stunner, earning the following praise from wine writer Kim Brebach: ‘Penfolds would charge $200 for a wine like this. 96++points.’ The 2016 is even better, offering intense black and blue fruits, spice and perfectly integrated oak. Brilliant drinking now and over the next 10-15. Brebach scored it a whopping 97 points. Dandelion Lionheart Shiraz 2018 Trophy – best Shiraz at the Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition USA Platinum Medal – as per above – denoting a good enough score to qualify this wine for the Trophy judge off (which it went on to win) 4 x Gold Medals We reckon this is pretty flash, with gorgeously cedary French oak framing a palate awash with sticky black and blue fruits, cigar box, Chrissie pudding spices and dark chocolate. Acid and fine tannins give it a backbone and the potential to improve for up to a decade. That said it’s so delicious now, few bottles will reach 10 years of age... Heirloom Alcala Grenache 2016 Trophy - San Diego International Wine & Spirits Competition – best Grenache of Show 6 x Gold Medals Selected from Heirloom’s best McLaren Vale vineyard. We saw musk, cherries, earthiness, black pepper, blackberries and more. A delicious, complete, complex yet playful Grenache and clearly one of Australia’s best. Curtis Cavaliere Cabernet 2015 Top in category Winestate Magazine 94pts James Halliday 94pts Tony Love A superb first release Cabernet under the Curtis Cavaliere label and as good as you’d expect if you’ve had the Cavaliere Shiraz previously. Lots going on here, with chocolate, spice, cedary oak and plentiful fine tannins. Decant for an hour or so if you want to try it now or stick it in the broom closet for up to 10 years.
