Wirra Wirra Church Block Cabernet Shiraz Merlot
Church Block first appeared back in 1972 under the watchful eye of Greg Trott and was taken by one of the original vineyards that ran alongside the small Bethany Church, across the road from Wirra Wirra's old ironstone cellars. Over the last 4 decades, it has become one of Australia's favourites. The 2005 Church Block is showing just what a little patience can do. After six years, the velvet texture is the dominant feature with integrated tannin taking a backseat.
Monterra M Block Fleurieu Cabernets
This Gold, 94pt "blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc is a powerhouse of concentrated flavour and immense drinkability" as Brendan Black WinePilot writes, adding: "…The beautiful notes of blackberry, mulberry, plums, cocoa, cola and cedar, on the nose and palate, align with dusty tannins and ample acidity make for a very enjoyable drop. 93pts.” For Campbell Mattinson, The Halliday Wine Companion, "The quality on offer here is comfortably above average, regardless of price, so much so that when the price was revealed, it was a (good) surprise. It tastes of pure blackcurrant, boysenberry, green olives, spearmint and creamed cedarwood, and the mouthfeel of it, the structure, the flow and the finish are all sitting pretty. 93pts. Great Value."
