Wynns Coonawarra Estate Shiraz 2021, Coonawarra
South Australia, Australia$18.95
Huge value from a classic Aussie house. This is a very smooth and quite elegant, almost satiny shiraz. The nose is a bit more reserved than expected, but brooding with complex black cherry ,licorice, pepper, violet and wood spice. It is full bodied thick and soft, with very fine talcum tannins.

Bodegas Merayo Godello 2024, Do Bierzo
Bierzo, Spain$21.95
Sweet, crunchy apples and pears and juicy tangerines - a clear, uncluttered composition, focused on fruit flavours. The palate is medium bodied, with lively acidity accompanying a delightful impression of sweet, ripe stone fruit. Followed by a generous citrus pith on the very long finish.
Not a fav - too sour for us, a bit one-note.

Tasca D'Almerita Regaleali Bianco 2025, D.O.C. Sicilia
Sicily, Italy$18.95
Produced for 63 vintages; great value. It pours bright lemon. The nose is nicely lifted and pure with peach, pineapple, lemon and some leesy and honeyed character. It is medium weight, warm, grippy and lively with a juicy acidity and a sense of poise. The length is excellent with lemon and ripe pear on the finish.
OK, not a fav. Just a touch of sour lemon.

Cape Barren Native Goose G.s.m. 2024, Mclaren Vale
South Australia, Australia$23.95
Smooth, round and plush, this is a big mouthful of grenache-shiraz-mourvèdre, warming at 14.5% ABV declared. The palate is replete with strawberry pie filling flavours and a twist of black pepper; length and depth are very good.
Nice, strawberry/cherry, smooth and peppery. A bit tannic for K; long slightly sour on the finish. Like second bottle more.

Floral and peach on the nose, sweet creamy peach early then a long grapefruit finish. Very nice - thumbs up from K. Great with Moroccan rice (cumin).
