Premium Reds Dozen

What a collection! First up, the superb Angas King 1836 Clare Valley Reserve Shiraz (worth $75 a bottle), lavishly rich and intense, and the cool, classy Ocelli Shiraz South Australia’s beautiful Adelaide Hills. Two South Australian Grenache – the lovely Zonte’s Footstep McLaren Vale Love Symbol and the “delightfully styled” (Ned Goodwin MW) Curtis Heritage Grenache – show off this wonderful variety to perfection. Head west, for a dark and elegant 94pt Margaret River Cabernet from Nannup Ridge, and then to Victoria for the stunning 94pt Blue Pyrenees Estate Red Blend, laden with “Blackcurrant, toast, fragrant herbs and eucalyptus with cedar oak pulling it all together. This will age beautifully, thanks mostly to its balance, its harmony and its length” (Campbell Mattinson).
