From my Forum: Aravina Estate Wildwood Ridge Reserve 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is what turned up for this deal.
I thought I may have found the wrong wine show results, but looking again I find.
Aravina Estate Wildwood Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Bronze [BWS20] Class 13: Cabernet Sauvignon
(No Reserve in the listing there, but Wildwood Ridge is the Reserve level only)
A Margaret River winery and restaurant, Aravina Estate is a 180-acre wine growing property situated in the south west viticulture region of Western Australia.

The bronzy colour in the results spreadsheet looks a little like Gold if you are colour-blind. Big VM error here. https://www.anzbws.com.au/
Looks like try a bottle for free and send it back....

Thanks for clarifying RB.
12 months in oak was very unusual for Woody Nook and I almost got tricked into buying a case. From past experience Aravina is a big C/S that needs time but in a different league from WN.
Just opened a bottle of Pirramimma Warhorse and what a cracker! It is a massive wine, huge fruit bomb explosion in your mouth even as you take a small sip. The fruit is so concentrated that there is a tad of sweetness to it, they certainly overdriven it (some would find it a bit over the top). A lot going on with this one, yet everything seems to work great, Not overly dry, acid is well balanced and nice firm tannins. It is 2015 but feels quite young. Not cheap at $45, but extremely well presented bottle would make a very special gift.
I think it is still available on VM. Will try AJC next week.
