The only single-vineyard wine in the Australian Collection (although the Oakville Napa Valley Cabernet is also a single-vineyard wine, from Block 13A on the Gamble Ranch), the 2021 Magill Estate Shiraz leads, as per usual, with lavender, bergamot (Earl Grey tea), milk chocolate, raspberry coulis and red licorice. The tannins have a good feeling in the mouth—chewy, full, ductile and fresh. There's something like nori, brine, red apple skins and something Japanese (togarashi?). It's a lovely wine. Gorgeous, in fact. Inky. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

Wonderfully expressive, with toothsome and fleshy ripe plum, huckleberry and wild blackberry flavors. Delivers details of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, white pepper and dried rosemary that linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2033. 25 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Adelaide Select to Add

Every year I smell lavender in this glass, and I promptly forget, until the following year. So today, as I smell the 2020 Magill Estate Shiraz, I smell lavender, and it lifts the aromatic profile—Earl Grey tea, Chinese five spice, black fruit and graphite through the finish. This is a supremely elegant wine, a single-vineyard wine (the only one in the 2022 Collection). Open fermenters, basket pressed and barrel fermented. It's all done in situ at Magill. I love this wine; it has powdery tannins, pliable fruit and curvy shape. Gorgeous. Irresistible.

Elegant yet powerful, with a polished frame to the kirsch, framboise and dried cherry flavors at the core, showing pretty details of cardamon, star anise and date nut bread, with accents of dried peppery rose petal that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2045. 50 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Adelaide Select to Add
