I haven't tried this one that came through via dealer, is it worth it?:

It's back! One of our most requested wines in the history of the company is back with a super limited run of only 96 cases! get in SUPER quickly today before it's all gone! This is a full-on Mclaren vale red, inky, dense and delicious.

Pirramimma Ironstone Low Trellis Shiraz 2019
RRP $70 down to $39.90/btl in a 6pk
96 Pts Wine Orbit
95 Pts The Real Review

As a wine lover the words 'low yield' always excite me, and with good reason. The concentration of fruit from a vineyard such as this, which produces a mere 2 tonnes of fruit, is quite frankly astonishing.

Expect thick and rich decadent black plum up front, with all the Mclaren Vale traits you would expect - notes of kirsch are excellently layered on sprinkles of toasty vanilla oak and dark chocolate. These rich oak notes are ever present on the finish, which is all carried forward by ripe mouth-watering tannins.

This is a wine with fantastic balance already, but you can look to the future here and expect this wine to reward any cellaring for up to 20 years.

I was given a white label pirra a few weeks ago. it's a maccas shiraz about 25 at Danny's. It was lovely. Subsequently I bought one here for about 20 a bottle down from 50 I think. It had a man's name as the name and I am yet to try. People generally like the pirra wines here.
 
@redbigot - Have you got an opinion on the Reschke Armenta Cab Sav 2014? I'm a fan of the 2014 Empyrean and was wondering if this would be similar? Thanking you in advance.

Sorry, haven't tried it or any other of the Reschke reds from the last 20 years. I stopped buying Coonawarra Cabernets many years ago.

Genuinely interested from a wine knowledge perspective.
Thanks, dxwell

:) Ok, I've long preferred Margaret River/Gt Southern and even some Victorian and (in good years) Barossa or McLaren Vale Cabernets to most of those from Coonawarra, which I often find too herbaceous/green and overly acidic. I don't much care for the modern-styled earlier drinking Cabernets from any region and the ones I like that need lengthy time to eventually reach their likely magnificent peak will mature past my expiry date.
And possibly most importantly my wife has become increasingly sensitive to anything herbaceous or green in the wines we drink and many Cabernets fall into that category, even those I'd be happy to drink at times.
So Cabernet has been replaced by more Pinots and Grenache/blends in my buying schedule.
