We are incredibly lucky to have a vineyard that can produce a profile of Shiraz such as this. Facing east and growing in a valley alongside the Wild Duck Creek adjacent to the winery, the Original Vineyard has proved over three decades to be a truly remarkable place. It is protected from harsh winds during the growing season by its surrounding geography. The soils naturally hold what little moisture falls upon them so the vines are able to bask underneath clear Heathcote sunshine in blissful happiness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe grapes are then picked at full and balanced ripeness, with up to 50% of whole bunches retained in each small ferment. Once dry, the wine is then gently pressed into 100% new Dominique Laurent barrels, with each small parcel from the vineyard kept separate. The parcels are determined usually by the variation in soil throughout the vineyard, with certain areas being picked before others depending on ripeness. The very best barrel is then selected and bottled on its own. Only 300 bottles are filled in exceptional vintages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAF70","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41373320773695,"sku":"OWC-EA-L3","price":750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"2002-darenberg-the-dead-arm-shiraz-1500ml","title":"2002 d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz - 1500mL - Magnum - 98 Points","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-short-description rte\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px; font-size: 0.9375rem; color: #261d14; font-family: Assistant, sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; list-style-position: outside; line-height: 1.6; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(255, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e98 Points \u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;\"\u003eRPJ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Deep brick-red colour with a tawny rim.

That's certainly what everyone expected, but a number of wine critics were disappointed on release. After the voluptuous, ripe and opulent 2001, the 2002 follow-up was more elegant, tightly focused and backward than they expected. So obviously it's a wine to be put down in the cellar rather than drunk now; but how good\/great will it be in the long term? Obviously nobody knows for certain, but the reviews below are certainly insightful, as is the review above from Huon Hooke which was made over 8 years after the wine was released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A more elegant, controlled and tightly focused Dead Arm with pleasing fruit and balance, but an unmistakable thread of herbaceousness beneath. Its spicy and lightly smoky fragrance of cassis, blackberries, violets and raspberries is offset by creamy vanilla oak. Silky smooth and velvet-like, its very measured palate of vibrant small black and red berries, licorice and spice culminates in a long, rather minty, eucalypt-like and herbal finish.

After the magnificent 2001, it comes across as lighter-styled, more elegant, but also closed and restrained. Several hours of aeration were beneficial, but this cuvee seems to be playing it close to the vest. However, there is power underneath the tannic structure. A deep ruby\/purple color is followed by a backward, full-throttle Shiraz lacking the exuberance, unctuosity, and stunning concentration of the 2001 and 1998. It has noble breeding, but appears to be totally shut down at present. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020.\"  Robert Parker, Wine Advocate - 92 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"To do the wine complete justice, I have tried it over a period of the best part of day and have made notes as I went. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst impression upon opening was a bouquet dominated by loads of dusty oak, mushroom, blackberries and a fairly prominent herbaceous undertone. The first sip indicates this wine is a veritable baby and I was committing the worst possible case of Vin infanticide. All the components are there but they are not harmonious, to the contrary, the wine is disjointed and jarring. However, when examined closely they are all there in the right proportions and on the plus side, the finish is persistent.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNinety minutes later coffee essence and an unusual scent that I had trouble positively identifying were the major factors. The unidentified scent seemed like it was \"green oak.” On the palate, it was not as jarring as the first sip; it was OK but still very much a baby. Fine-rained dusty tannins, and ripe fruit provide coffee, chocolate, plum and blackberry flavours but there was an herbaceous streak with mint and menthol running through the palate.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter three hours, this wine is really starting to change. On the palate, the fruit is rich and intense with many of the previously mentioned flavours still in play but now there is a real spiciness to it too.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter six hours, the bouquet is dominated by floral violet notes, menthol and spice; it's very attractive and totally unlike the monster that reared its ugly head six hours ago. Tannins are very fine and grip the tongue like a vice, the acid is baby fresh and the fruit is up to the task but now, all the disjointed impression that was evident when first opened has disappeared and the components are more harmonious and in balance. Finish is very long. Spice, coffee essence, multiple berry flavours, plum and chocolate surfing the tasting buds on a (now much tamer and less aggressive, almost Cabernet like) herbaceous under bed with mint and menthol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter eight hours, now this wine is really singing. The herbaceous streak has receded even further and it is dominated by chocolate, coffee, spice and glorious rich plumy fruit that is full bodied and finishes with great intensity and persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, if those who canned the wine did so from a bottle that was freshly opened, I can understand why. By the same token, those that judged the wine alongside others in a big lineup will also have been justifiably disappointed, especially without significant decant time because it would not show very well at this stage against other wines, which no doubt, would be more attractive and easier to drink in their youth. However, I am very happy I bought this wine and in time, think it will be wonderful. Current rating is Excellent *** for value with room for improvement as the wine matures around the turn of the decade.\"  Ric Einstein, www.torbwine.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box;

The palate is opulent and rich, with gently grippy but fine structure and huge length.

Harvest began on the 14th September for the Merlot, and the final lot of Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on 30th September.

The intensely perfumed, savory bouquet is immediately alluring. Deep and substantial, the 2020 is luxuriously rich from start to finish. Swaths of incisive tannin wrap around a core of dark red cherry fruit, gravel, dried herbs and rose petal, and a whole range of floral and savory accents lend aromatic presence. The Pontet-Canet is often a charmer en primeur, but the 2020 comes across as quite serious. I can't wait to see how it develops. As always, one of the signatures of Pontet-Canet is a high proportion of Merlot vis-à-vis its peers among top Left Bank châteaux that lends tremendous midpalate weight. In 2020 production is within historical norms. Mildew pressure was high, but not as severe as in 2018, when two-thirds of the crop was lost in a single day.

Inky purple with ruby reflections in colour. Lots of firm but upright tannins, a good dollop of graphite, pencil lead and cassis bud, there is depth through the mid palate shot through with wild blackberry, hawthorn, sage, rosemary and wild mint. It has personality, and is a little old school in the best possible way. Recommended. They have avoided the over-concentrated feel of some Pauillacs in the vintage, while remaining true to the appellation. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend, 50% new oak 35% amphoras, 15% one-year barrels. First full vintage for Mathieu Bessonnet who replaced the previous long-term director Jean-Michel Comme in 2020. 100% first wine, as it has been for the past four years. 45% will be aged in new oak barrels, 15% one year, 40% in amphoras.

The wine was called Napa Medoc until 1982 when it was named Opus One. The winery was founded as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi to create a single Bordeaux style blend based upon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It is located across State Route 29 from the Robert Mondavi Winery. The creation of this winery venture in 1980 was big news in the wine industry; de Rothschild's involvement added an air of respectability to the burgeoning Napa wine region. The first vintage, 1979 was released in 1984 at the same time as the 1980 vintage. For a while it was the most expensive Californian wine costing $50 and to date still ranks among the most expensive red wines produced in the Napa Valley, commanding prices of $305 per bottle on average. In 1989 a new winery was built just down the road, the first vintage from the new winery was from 1991 and was released in 1994.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking at Opus One resolves to a single goal: to produce an extraordinary wine. No compromises are made. Guided by the vision of our founders, our winemaker Michael Silacci combines intuition and technical acumen with the dual perspective of viticulturist and winemaker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery cluster of Opus One grapes is hand-harvested, and just as much care is taken when transporting them from the vineyard to the winery. The integrity of the grapes is assured by placing the clusters in small picking boxes that hold no more than thirty-five pounds (sixteen kilograms).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-sorted: any leaves or imperfect grapes are discarded. Only gravity is used to move the berries from the destemmed into the stainless steel fermenting tanks below. Stainless steel is the perfect material – it provides a cool and gentle beginning to the fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Opus One makes only one wine, each tank can be dedicated to a single lot of grapes; each tank is used only once during harvest, so fermentation and maceration need never be rushed. The long, warm maceration in temperature-controlled tanks draws out myriad rich flavors and colors from the skins, seeds, and pulp. The tanks are raised so the free-run wine can flow into new French oak barrels; the remaining skins tumble easily into basket presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn another gentle, unhurried step, the skins, seeds, and pulp are pressed. Like the free-run wine, the pressed wine is put into barrels to be aged. To provide backbone to the wine, a portion of the press is often added to the final blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the wine is safely in barrel, the topping, racking, and fining processes begin. During the first year, Michael continually tastes from each French oak barrel, evaluating the effect of the wood on the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFining, which occurs after the final racking in tank, also illustrates the hand-crafted nature of Opus One. Carefully added in more turbid vintages, fresh egg whites attract the very small particles that would otherwise remain in suspension. Fining clarifies and polishes the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter about a year and a half in barrel, the wine is bottled. Opus One receives an additional year and a half of bottle age before the wine is released— some three years after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cellar Link Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41764376903743,"sku":"OPUS09153","price":4200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/opus-one-2012-med.png?v=1749201551"},{"product_id":"2018-yalumba-the-caley-cabernet-shiraz-1-5l-magnum","title":"2018 Yalumba The Caley Cabernet \u0026 Shiraz 1.5L Magnum","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/Screenshot_2025-06-06_183128.png?v=1749198705\" style=\"float: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_Jun_2_2025_11_20_23_PM.png?v=1748870638\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: left;\" width=\"119\" height=\"119\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2018 Caley exemplifies the blend of Coonawarra Cabernet \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSauvignon and Barossa Shiraz, showing beautifully defined aromatics, richness and concentration and represents a wine for the cellar.

Perfect summer weather set in from June onwards, with slightly higher than average temperatures and almost no rainfall, leading to veraison in the last week of July.

Fermentation took place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts at temperatures of around 25 - 28°C, with pumping over two or three times a day and délestages where necessary. The total time spent in the tanks ranged from 21 to 28 days.

Oh, and although around 80% of the grapes did come in during those first 10 days, the final harvest date was 10 October.There's clear depth just in the colour alone, and impressive complexity on the nose. There's still a whole lot of Troplong strength and concentration here, you can't get away from that with these clay and flint over limestone soils, but now it is softer, with more minerality. The relatively high alcohols are apparent in the texture but not as heat. I love the persistency here, as it drags things out in the most delicious of ways, with a slate and white pepper finish. Of the new vineyards bought (4ha from Clos Labarde and 6ha from Bellisle Mondotte), everything is in the second wine this year.

The above average winter rainfall followed by a below average spring and summer rainfall led to small bunches and small berries, resulting in a reduced yield but high quality grapes, especially amongst the red varieties of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro. The wine boasts an impressive colour, structure and longevity. On the nose, the aromatics are complex and lifted with dense black fruits such as blackberries, satsuma plum and black cherry, complemented by dark chocolate, cacao bean and liquorice. The opulent mouthfeel, liveliness and vibrancy is a real standout on a plush and velvety textured palate structure. The complex layers and fruit characters continue to evolve in the glass with firm but drying tannins seamlessly balanced with long acid and statuesque posture and length. The wine is made up of 98% Shiraz and 2% Viognier and has been matured for 30 months on new (50%), second fill and third fill French oak barriques, completing a natural malolactic fermentation in barrel and resting on fine lees throughout maturation to enhance texture. The wine has an opaque, almost black-red colour and a powerful and impressive lifted black fruit aroma with underlying dark chocolate complex undertones and spice. On the palate, the wine is full bodied, intense, firm and long. The tannins are impressive as is the depth and balance that will live on for decades. This impressive RunRig vintage is one to keep in the wine cellar for 30 years or more.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SS2025","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41874705088575,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/IMG_1710_aca958df-c73a-410f-acfd-e81bccc51a46.jpg?v=1752406520"},{"product_id":"2021-torbreck-runrig-shiraz-viognier-1500ml-gift-pack","title":"2021 Torbreck RunRig Shiraz Viognier 1500mL - Gift Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/RunRig_ov.png?v=1742434545\" alt=\"\" width=\"451\" height=\"245\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Highland clans used a ‘RunRig’ system to distribute land amongst their clansmen in a series of widely dispersed holdings.

It’s certainly much less expensive than Grange or Hill of Grace will be when they’re released. It’s also more approachable in its youth, with enormously appealing aromas of grilled fruit, savory complexities and rich, velvety tannins. Of course, it’s full-bodied and concentrated, with the stuffing to age for up to a couple of decades, and it has a long, licorice-tinged finish. Winemaker Ian Hongell, who joined Torbreck from Peter Lehmann, may not have made this wine, but he deserves a lot of credit for the blending and finishing of this tour de force\".  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion, 97 Points.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDestemmed, open-fermented, 7 days on skins, matured for 30 months in French barriques (50% new) before blending trials determined 2% of viognier be blended in.

If I were a cynical sort, I’d suspect this wine is the main game for Torbreck: sure, the Laird attracts all the attention, much of it because of the price, but that then makes RunRig (of which more is produced) seem like good value in comparison.

A hint of viognier's sweet marmalade character comes through as the wine sits in the glass. A true 'Vin de Garde' to reward those with the patience to cellar it.'The Highland clans used a \"runrig\" system to distribute land amongst their clansmen in a series of widely dispersed holdings. The emphasis not on any one farm, but rather the communal element of the whole. Shiraz from old dry grown vineyards is blended with viognier, complementing the strengths and complexities of these individual parcels of fruit, whilst giving the resulting wine a further dimension'.
