Les Trois Clefs Côtes du Rhône comprises a fulfilling experience of true Rhone Valley wine. With its medium deep colour, musky red berry licorice aromas, juicy flavours, looseknit chalky tannins and mineral length, it is ready to drink now.

Fruity aromas and subtle hints of choc mint make Colonel & Merchant Shiraz Cabernet is a must have for the weekend. A well-rounded palate of sweet and savoury includes dark berry fruits and velevety tannins with a strong finish.

Lifted berry fruits with savory undertones. A dash of spice and fine soft tannins. Luscious plum and dark cherries, with subtle spicy oak characters and fine tannins. Luscious dark berry fruit, toasty oak, fine tannins with a smooth finish.

Bottled early to retain the fresh fruit characters this wine is from the Murray Darling region in Victoria. The lively passionfruit and gooseberry flavours captured in the wine suit a prawn and rocket pasta perfectly.

The Cabernet brings succulent blackberry and plum to the glass, all enriched by toasty, supple oak tannins. Aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant and plum layered with toasty oak. The palate is rich in dark berry, varietal flavours balanced by oak and velvety tannins. Pairs perfectly to grilled steak with black peppercorn sauce and fat chips.

Water Wheel, the famed Bendigo wine producer trots out superb reds year after year. On this occasion though, the price stopped us dead in our tracks. Especially when the sourcing here is premium all the way; the estate vineyards near Bendigo, plus top tier vineyards in Heathcote, the Pyrenees and Grampians regions. With all portions destined for far higher priced wines, this is a scoop to dive on. Cascading black and purple fruits, plush and silky from start to finish, all wrapped in lovely length and structure. Sensational!

Subtle hints of oak and soft tannins support the fruitiness of raspberries and red currents in this approachable and very smooth red. Pair with pork and beef sausages with lots of mustard and chutney.

With a nose of rich spicy pepper and liquorice generous in intensity, Jacob's Creek Shiraz shows a medium-bodied palate displaying welcoming plum and cherry fruit flavours leading through to a softly textured finish.
