For anyone that is interested, I'm pretty confident that todays Black Market Yarra Valley Shiraz is the Warramate White Label.

Warramate Wines | 2014 Warramate White Label Shiraz

The 2013 was a stunning, if slightly confusing wine. I described it as being one of the nicest Pinots I've ever tasted, despite being a shiraz. A really beautiful wine once you set aside your preconceptions about how a Shiraz should taste.

Can confirm that this is the Warramate shiraz and concur that the 2013 was a refined stunner. Boom again from me, will be interesting to see how the 14 lines up against this.
 
A little early to be heady from wine, just had the Mandala Pinot 2010 (Winery $50 VM $19.90) and I must say it is quite something. Closed and tight initially, more-ish but more base woody notes than fruit and flowers. And given Australian pinot's track record I thought this 6 year-old was a goner. After all the Mandala makers recommended a drink-by-2015 (VM recommends 2018). 4 hours later I thought the bouquet quite glorious. Oak and spice structures a thinly rounded.... something.. reminiscent of an Armagnac (!). Highly recommended, but I think better drink by mid-2017! Great buy for a Oz pinot <$20

The Handpicked Chardy 2013 on the other hand: delicate, tasted very light of oak, unremarkable and un-lengthy finish. Expensive for a VM$22.50 - this is what I might get from a DM $22.50 (Has VM moved from 'great discounts' to 'fair price'?). Buy for a 5-year keeps perhaps and pray its fruit and flowers are quality enough to develop.

Just opened a bottle of Jack Estate Shiraz 2013. It's indeed a nice quaffer and good value as others said.

Btw looks like the flash sale caused VM site to crash!
 
Yes, just opened my first bottle as well. Nice quaffer.

However, case of Jack arrived, but 6 pack of Sangiovese didn't, even though VM advised that the order has been delivered. Did they stuff up or could the sangiovese still be coming?

VM will send a delivery text if only one of the cases has been delivered. If you check your order history on the website, does it show delivered for both cases?

I would call them as drivers scan when they deliver. Possible still on van and your items were scanned in van before delivery.

I went searching for my notes on the 13, as I received it as part of a mixed case. Months and months ago, but I did write that it was a stunner with finesse. Not your typical, as you wrote, but cool climate wines are like that.......i am like delta goodrum at the moment......sitting with my chest exposed, having slightly, and I must reiterate, slightly more chest hair than her, and waiting to press the button, but I want to share the case with a punter near Collingwood..you out there and I will pay for this, and split em.......i also read in the tasting notes about 2020 being as a window. Surely not, as I procrastinate........looking to each side of me and expecting the madden brothers, or Jessie #$%% j,or god help us, ronan.

wonder who's buying this and how many they're expecting to sell after having the secret but better rated 2005 for $49.90?

ps how about kindly providing the link next time as not everyone here is a VIM? :)

I think that it's a lot better than the term quaffer implies. Also it has some complexity, which suggests that it will get even better with age.
