Repeat of my info in post above, it is NOT Chapel Hill.

The only other wine I can think of that could match is theHardys Tintara Shiraz 2013, but the drink by is way off.

Not Hardys.

Those who are members of the wine companion and use the virtual cellar, have you noticed that the "drink by year" drop down filter actually filters by production year, not the drink by year? I might have to send them an email about that, I'd find it quite handy if it works as per the name

Good luck with that, I've asked them to fix some basic search and data problems various times over the past few years with about nil result.

Yeah, the site is actually pretty cough, could do with a makeover to bring it up to standards for sure. I've sent an email off anyway, can't hurt

EDIT: Actually that sort option does work sometimes, just not all the time. If you change it to something else and then back it tends to kick in. Point still stands

Gemtree looked close except for the RRP. VM says its a "renowned winery".

One last crack .... Olivers Taranga Vineyards McLaren Vale Shiraz 2013.
Could only find the tasting notes for the 2012 on their site, but the Alcohol, Price and Drink By all match up for the review on Wine Companion. They are also a 5 star winery ... not sure I'd call them a famous producer though.

Not Olivers.

Not Olivers.

I'll grab my coat ....

I'm off to the gym for an hour or so, if you haven't worked it out by the time I get back I'll give you a clue.

What am I missing here, are you affiliated with the mof_'s?

The first thing that came to mind was the d'Arenberg Wild Pixie Shiraz as the price is right but their website doesn't indicate a 2013 release, and not sure if the alcohol matches in any case.

No, definitely not. But there are ways and means and being into wine for 40+ years helps.

What you're missing is this:

The Red Bigot Red Wine Buyers Guide

One might form the view that mr bigot is trolling for members.

 

[blackcat20]

Fox Creek?

If it's Wild Pixie, I'm in for 20 cases!

EDIT: Latest Wild Pixie, appears to be the 2011. VM have featured the Wild Pixie (2009) as a VIM deal previously.

He's certainly not contributing anything of value here, I know that much. Put up or shut up please!

 

[speznjast]

Wirra Wirra Amator Shiraz maybe? Alcohol is right and price is off $1.

 

[Gorg]

I'm just about sucked in by the description despite not having a clue what it is.

Someone got 10 cases and another got 6 cases so something is going down here.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Latest VM offering called the 'The Ace Case' for $141.20

Note 'Please note, this product is on back order and will begin dispatching on Aug 24.'

So, given my recent experiences, I think this means you should expect a delivery time of +3 weeks from now.
