More likely a Bigpong issue...

Anyone else getting a lot of SMS's from Vinomofo lately?

At least one every second day for me. When you follow the link provided it displays as a 'text only deal'. But every time I've done so the item shows as sold out.

There is a "SMS Messages permitted" setting in Communication Preferences if you want them to stop.

Doesn't get particularly amazing responses online with most Vivino reviews for example referring to it as "smooth" or indeed "too smooth", think I might give it a pass....

Thankfully no but I recently changed my email preferences to receive once a week. I wish I'd used my remaining credits on a second case of Petaluma Coonawarra last year so. Black Market deals that appeal to me are few and far between these days.

Got the Shiraz 2016 - Black Market Deal #32106 which I can confirm as the 2016 Salomon Finniss River Sea Eagle Vineyard Shiraz. Quite a nice drop, elegant and composed, I would recommend it...
I'm sure someone will jump in with the corrrect info but I wonder if https://www.vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/cabernet-blend-2013-black-market-deal-33704 is 2013 Oakdene Single Vineyard Bernard's Cabernets? Just my two bob's worth

Seems to line up well (except for the SK rating) edit

Monterra Reserve Shiraz 2017

A staggeringly intense Shiraz this, which will cellar for eons. Packed with black and blue fruits, cedary tannins and amazing depth of flavour. If you are buying a dozen, consider drinking one every 18 months or so.

The Sam Kim score is actually 96:
Monterra
Reserve Shiraz 2017
Rating: 96
This is meltingly delicious; the gloriously fragrant bouquet shows dark fruit intensity with seductive notes of cake spice, mocha, cedar and game, followed by a sumptuous palate that is opulent and mouthfilling. Splendidly rich and robust with impressive power and persistency. At its best: now to 2030. AU$40.00. www.monterrawines.com. Jan 2019.
Now listed at $50 at the winery. 2017 Reserve McLaren Vale Shiraz

No wonder I was confused, there is also a later 95pt note with the higher price...
Monterra
Reserve Shiraz 2017
Rating: 95
This is impressively fruited and immensely appealing on the nose showing blackberry, mixed berry compote, cocoa, tar and cedary oak characters, leading to a powerfully expressed palate that is concentrated and persistent. The wine offers terrific fruit richness backed by velvety texture and refined tannins. At its best: now to 2030. $50.00. www.monterrawines.com. Aug 2019.

And Wine Direct also show the 94pt Wine Showcase score.

Sorry about that, not familiar with Oakdene's offerings, I used this link which you have to look at very closely to read that vital piece of info: Oakdene Vineyards - Products - 2017 Bernard's Cabernets

Possibly Haselgrove Cul Stor

Agree the most likely. Similar blurb and same price as previously listed. Haven't tried the 2018, but 2013 and 2017 both good wines. 2018 should be a good vintage also.
