One could argue that the standish is the better wine. Better track record, scores etc
Splitting hairs really, all the wines are quite well reviewed - agree that the Standish arguably has a bit more acclaim, but it doesn't have the same supply constraints.
Wouldn't it be upto a preference of Eden Valley over Barossa? On paper it sounds like personally I would prefer The Shubert Theorem. Lucky I have a self imposed 2 digit per bottle spending ceiling!
My ideal budget is $30 pb... entering them into the spreadsheet and cellartracker... doesn't seem to be the case anymore.Good luck with that. I used to follow that exact same rule once... To my defensive it was much easier to score top shelf wines < $100 back then. Good excuse isn’t it
To be honest, my palate lacks sophistication to benefit from the ever so diminishing (personal) marginal improvement of quality as the price goes up. I think my true inflexion point is at about $50-$70 mark - also I am quite impartial to Bourgogne!
offline independents are your best bet

Found some nice gems at Vintage Cellars.
Someone just beat me to Mount Marry, he was literally holding the last two bottles as I entered the store but I managed to clean out their Standish stock which was somehow overlooked by others

Price matched at Dans with the opportunity for egc and cashback
Great wine. I picked a couple of the 2018s from LL for $5 a couple months ago when they were clearing out their range. Did the honourable thing and left 9 bottles behind.
Am with you, prefer the Schubert.
These guys are the sole importer into the uk.Am with you, prefer the Schubert.
