Vinomofo Wine Deals

[Learned_One]

Curious move - Dan Murphy's has moved into the Black Market/hidden label market place.

Today they have offered:

Secret Selection Shiraz

Mmm, interesting. Many seem to be doing this now. Hookey doesn't seem to go much on it.



Almost certainly this is the:

Gemtree Obsidian Shiraz



Mmm interesting. Quite a few are doing these hidden deals lately. As far as the wine goes, anyone tried it? Hookey doesn't seem to enthused about it.

Nice detective work, Rocket09!

For those interested this turned out to be the 2009 Heathcote 'Merindoc' Single Vineyard Shiraz.

You ordered a 2008 and got a 2009? Oh my.

It was 2008. I noticed the mistake but for some reason I was unable to edit my entry.

Art Of War The General Shiraz 2012



This is going to come out in a magnum soon:
Art Of War The General Shiraz 2012 - Red Wine

It's $30 for the 750ml, so I assume double that for the magnum.

https://www.facebook.com/vinomofo/posts/718107701571077

Considering purchasing. I've had the 2011 offering (http://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/art-of-war-shiraz-2011-2d4213a5) and that it was OK. Anyone had the 2012 750ml bottle yet?

It was ok? You're not selling it! I'd want at least good for $30!

Just snapped up a half dozen of the Kay Brothers Block 6 Shiraz 2006

My case arrived today
Now need an opportunity to open a bottle for tasting purposes

Totally agree, there is plenty of good wine around at good prices, not to bother with wines that are just OK and the only plus being they are cheap.

Got mine Monday; also waiting for a tasting opportunity

I wouldn't call $30 cheap! Suspect you mean cheaper than it should be though.

99% sure the contraband shiraz is the 2012 vintage of Schild Estate Shiraz. It was a great deal last year for the 2011 at $6, i hope the better vintage makes this an equally good deal

Schild's website list the alcohol content as 14.5% and Vinomofo's is 14.7%. Everything else seems to match though (including the 3 gold medals).

I bought a case of the 2011 and it was a bargain for $6. I was hoping the 2012 would be the same price but since it is a better vintage it would make sense for it to cost a bit more.

Strange - the schild site says 14.5%, but I've found other sites that have 14.7%! I guess Schild are trying to throw us off the scent...
I've still got some of this in the cellar, and it's great value for money. I think I might get a case... just so I can compare it to the 2011, you know? Purely scientific.
