Maybe you should sell it to Japan. Easy money. Cheers

Common Ground is the Contraband Coonawarra Cabernet

The wrap it gets on-line seems extremely positive, Jim Brands's own website (really only a logo, email address and order form) doesn't give much/any detail but the Wine Society do: Common Ground Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 | The Wine Society I'm very tempted to put match to powder on this one especially at the price-point and free shipping....hmmmm

I enjoyed it! Far better than the 10 Chains I purchased at the same time

I'm Keen to know the Mclaren Vale Shiraz though.

2014 Shiraz $21 - $9

The $18 secret shiraz looks to be Pertaringa - over the top and I think the $45 black market is duval - eligo

The packaging looks stunning Rug; hopefully what is inside is as good!
Not like that Vinmofo wine that was advertised as a trophy winner; was for best label at Cairns Wine Show.

Is it the Richard Hamilton?

I think you will find the black market shiraz if its the $120 to $45 is 3 Associates The Legend. Cheers

The Eligo is worth that I think; just went for it.

Hmm interesting. Details are pretty scarce and it may well be. I'm not sure I would have considered them a cult winery it's all a bit subjective in their description. Duval is more Barossa too.

If it is the Eligo, Hookey only gave it 2.5 stars

 

[afro]

eligo is barossa shiraz and corked. this is listed as mclaren vale and screwcap as well.

Thanks for that qaz, I saw the listing last night but I guess after AC's somewhat guarded review (a grudging 91 if I remember correctly) I'm not as excited as I was initially about buying it. Phillip White's review is so glowing and ebullient that I imagined it would float most punter's boats so it will be interesting indeed to get a few more opinions in not that I'm disregarding yours! $23 isn't a princely sum but it does make a case hedge towards the $300 mark even with free shipping so the trigger's coughed but the safety's still on....

94 is the highest I've ever given anything (Torbrek Run Rig 2004, and maybe one other). 91 is at the top of my "good" bracket, with 92-93 being "excellent", and with my tastes, that usually only extends to wine that are 10+ years old, so not common for a 5 yo wine.

I bought a 6 pack of this and sampled my first bottle the other night. It's very good indeed particularly at the price.

Merlot very prominent, Medium bodied, complex, good tannin and acidity will age very well over the next 5-10 years. Drinking well now but will be better with a few more years on the clock.

 

[jrod]

Yep I stand corrected. Looks like it may be the iii Associates. It sounds like a new deal, but an old post here indicates they've had this deal before. Bit underwhelmed now

That's certainly enlightening AC, and Beefarmer called ME a harsh marker! So a margin of 4-5 points separating heaven and hell, wow. Unfortunately I can't peruse the Wine Front material as I'm not a subscriber but Phillip White is certainly an ardent fan...

Has the BM Pyrenees Cabernet $8.90 been revealed? 91pts Winefront
