Arila Gardens Single Vineyard Grenache 2023 - From a vineyard planted in the Moppa sub-region in 1900, this wine has a pleasing crimson-purple hue. We have spices, but the nose is dominated by an alluring mix of strawberries, cranberries, blueberries, coffee grinds, dried herbs, smoked meats and a hint of tomato bush. A wonderful and classic nose for Grenache, the tannins are a mix of silky and silty, but certainly quite abundant. There is great length, and the structure is both balanced and seamless. This has at least a decade ahead. A cracker. Drink now–2034.–

Evans & Tate Redbrook Reserve Cabernet 2019 - Here's some advice: decant this then prepare dinner, maybe a rack of lamb or roast beef, lots of roasted vegetables including beetroot, gather friends for a feast and pour the wine. It should have unfurled in the time it took to do the aforementioned. Wonderful fragrance and flavours of mulberries, cranberries, cinnamon and plenty of cedary/woodsy spices from the oak. It’s full bodied, densely packed with flavour and has no shortage of tannins, albeit ripe and grainy tannins in a youthful context. Its best days are ahead of it.
