Shiraz Cabernet 2016 – Black Market Deal #35218

Big, bold and bright! It’s that classic Aussie combo of shiraz and cabernet, straight from Wrattonbully, the region with maybe the coolest name in Australia ...

www.vinomofo.com

Says Wrattonbully for me...
And definitely Shiraz-Cabernet.
I think you might be looking at a different deal, 35128, close, but not the same Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 – Black Market Deal #35128

That is Flying Fish Cove The Wildberry Reserve Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, export back label, some of my Forum members are sending it back, not happy with it.

#32693 is likely 2014 USA STOCK Block 20 Shiraz – DOZEN | Pepper Tree Wines based on Sam Kim 94 pt TN.

Post automatically merged: Aug 4, 2020

Thus guessing #35128 is 2016 Black Label Limited Release Shiraz Cabernet | Pepper Tree Wines

Hi W&D I boomed on a case as well. Have you managed to jot down a few tasting notes as yet?

My apologies concussed, for some bizarre reason AFF doesn't update alerts for the threads unless you revisit them frequently enough (could be just me but I know of one other reliable source that has the same issue). Anyway the Granite Hills is winging its way back to VM as we speak, my tasting notes are pretty sketchy as I opened a bottle and drank it over a couple of nights and didn't commit anything to paper. My palate is skewed more towards a larger style of red I'm afraid, some might say why bother buying a cool climate shiraz from Victoria rather than a ball tearer from the Barossa but I like to venture out of my comfort zone occasionally. The Granite Hills was elegant, quite polished and gently perfumed, it has an almost feminine quality, the structure and mouthfeel however, are just too lightweight for me, not at all faulty just not my style...

hey folks, trying my luck on crowdsourcing the wines behind these two VM deals.
Cheers in advance.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 – Black Market Deal #34185

Talk about going back to the well! We keep bringing in new wines from this WA producer and our mof_’s keep clamouring for more and more. This is a 100% cab s...

Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 – Black Market Deal #32914

These guys called vintage 2018 just about the best of the past 25 years. The long, languorous ripening of rockstar fruit gave second-to-none complexity. This...

Finishing my last bottle of The Ledge 2014....anyone remember that one?

Funny you mention, it’s probably good timing to finish yours. I recently had the first one of a dozen. I don’t think it will get any better with more time, probably the opposite and I don’t drink much Shiraz anymore.

34185 is likely Willoughby Park IronRock
32914 is likely Rosenthal The Marker

 

[aussieinhk]

Brilliant, cheers
Will roll the dice on 34185 and report back

Seeing you're on a roll @redbigot could you have a crack at this apparently new one: Shiraz 2015 – Black Market Deal #35319 I had a half-hearted effort but couldn't work it out...

I am not he, but my guess is Brick Kiln Single Vineyard, matches on Wine Companion score, single vintage description, alcohol content and price:

Yeah, definitely Brick Kiln ordered and arrived a few days ago. It was offered under a different deal number @ $16.50, also on eBay now under #35319, +$9 freight, less 10% for eBay Plus members. Shiraz 2015 - Black Market Deal #35319 Red Wine pack of 12 | eBay

I've got a case in the cart as we speak, I'm guessing you've had a crack at this before RB and if so any descriptors or comments? cheers...

I've bought and enjoyed some past vintages at around $25 direct from the winery (bulk buy after group tasting), haven't actually cracked one of the 2015 yet. Also have bought The Grove level, but not since 2010 vintage.
Made by Phil Christiansen (Longwood Wines and contract maker for a few small producers), lovely chap, talented winemaker.

I'd say the wine will likely match the Wine Companion and TWF reviews, much more eloquent than me.
I would think it would be much more your style than the Granite Hills.

 

[Whining&dining]

Your blood's worth bottling kind sir... and it's a Boom from me....

Wonder if it comes in 5 litre casks?

Only 93 from Halliday, can't be any good then ;-)

 

[redbigot]

34185 is likely Willoughby Park IronRock
32914 is likely Rosenthal The Marker

34185 matches Rosenthal the Richings better than IronRock, although The Richings is $60 on the winery site.

wonder what it got from Sam Kim then?
