OK, I've uploaded it here. Curious to know if this tells you anything

There's nothing obvious there to suggest it's an export, but I'm not sure what that would look like.

I just collected my Sandhurst Ridge from the post office, the 2012 cabernet and shiraz. Interestingly, both of these have cork closures, though botoh Vinomofo and Winecompanion listed them as screwcap and all the pictures on the Sandhurst Ridge web page show screwcaps other than the Reserve shiraz.

The wine that started this thread :-)

Sandhurst Ridge. They also have the 2012 cabernet and 2013 shiraz.

Looks right to me, matches the Halliday into in all respects.

That's ths same mix I got.

It matches in alcohol, price, Halliday score, value star and 5 red stars to: - Rochford Wines Terre Single Vineyard Yarra Valley Chardonnay - Helen's Hill Estate The Empress Reserve Single Clone Chardonnay (alcohol % not stated in Wine Companion) - De Bortoli (Victoria) Section A7 Yarra Valley...

Deliveries in VIC have been very slow lately, with a number of my recent wine orders sitting at Aus Post depots for 10 - 14 days without moving. There is a huge volume of parcels at the moment and there have been decreases in the workforce to increase safety, so we'll all just have to bear it...

Dan's mostly change their prices to match the ALDI price from the day the special starts, which is great given that ALDI stocks tend to be pretty limited.

I generally like them 5+ years after release, they'll be good for another 20+ years. If you're buying a few, you can do worse than trying one to see how you like it.

St Hallett Blackwell is back in stock at CellarOne, for those who missed out last week. $159/6.

Anyone know what this 2016 SA shiraz might be? Single vineyard and 97 points / 5 stars @ Winestate didn't get me very far. https://www.vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/shiraz-2016-black-market-deal-34904

Yes, good points. An independent review from someone other than SK is something I'd normally want to see.

I think it's worth pointing out that it might be "made for mof_" - some of us have been burned before :-) "New" wine, recent appearance on the web site but Sold Out without any apparent public release - anyone else remember the first Mitolo Cantiniere?

Very interesting! Also interesting that a snapshot of their web page from late 2019 doesn't mention a Grenache Shiraz blend https://web.archive.org/web/20190810154612/http://www.thistledownwines.com/thistledown-wines/

I am not he, but my guess is Brick Kiln Single Vineyard, matches on Wine Companion score, single vintage description, alcohol content and price: http://www.brickiln.com.au/shop

Good find! They actually tell you it's that wine if you scroll down - not very good at secrets :-)

Generally a lovely wine that rewards cellaring. The 2017 isn't rated by Halliday yet, but all vintages he rated between 2008 and 2016 were 95-97 points.
