Cabernet Blend 2019 - Black Market Deal #53023 (3pk)
This will tick boxes across all your tastebuds with integrated oak, velvety tannins and a length that will just go on and on and on. Much like your mates when you refuse to crack open a second bottle. When wine critics are dropping 95s, 96s and 97s our ears perk up and we listen. This is a complex and multilayered blend that is a stunning representation of the greatness that South Australian wines can achieve. The blend is built upon cabernet, shiraz and malbec and draws upon the philosophy that when you take the years very best wines and craft them into a harmonious whole, the results will be a breathtaking wine that is greater than than the sum of its parts. With cellaring potential and a drinking window until 2050, this is an ideal candidate to fill your cellar with and drink slowly over time and it ages gracefully.

Shiraz 2018 – Black Market Deal #49143
Welcome to this producer’s colossal flagship wine. All parents say they don’t have a favourite child, but we’re pretty sure this would be the one for our star McLaren Vale producer. Picking the premium, low-yielding fruit from their vineyards, they’ve succeeded in creating a magnificently concentrated wine. There’s some parcels of fruit that go into American oak, and some in French. Some new and some old. It hits all the notes and comes together in a symphony of black and blue fruits. C’mon, those scores from the experts (including a 95 from Halliday) really speak for themselves on this one. But if we were to give you a short review from our team, it’d be this: don’t pass on the opportunity to get this in your glass.

Chardonnay 2023 - Black Market Deal #53466
Complex without going over anyone's head. Stone fruit, orange blossom and a subtle baking spice to match the brioche notes. Just because this wine is subtle that doesn't mean it's not flavoursome. It's modern, it's old-school, it's bright, it's creamy, it's just really really good Yarra Valley chardonnay. You don't need to write a thesis on this wine to enjoy it, but you could if you wanted to. A chardonnay for those that like to think about what they drink. A textural and inviting wine with stone fruits, florals and persistent acid all supported by a long, creamy finish. This will be drinking beautifully from now until 2030.

Pinot Noir 2023 - Black Market Deal #53522
Some work days are better than others, but we can assure you, when this bad boy found its way onto the tasting bench, it was a very good day at work indeed. There's a very good reason that Geelong pinot noir is becoming known the world over, here's your chance to jump on at the ground floor. A bright, primary fruited wine with vibrant red cherry and soft plummy notes. This is essentially a multi-clonal blend of the very best barrels available, the overall treatment ends up being about 20% new french oak allowing for a complex and rounded wine with a beautifully silky tannin structure. Age will bring complexity and perhaps some more savoury aspects. Drinking now will show pure, concentrated fruit and seriously high quality oak. A fantastic example of very skilful winemaking.

Shiraz 2022 – Black Market Deal #53118
This 95 point Halliday 2022 vintage shiraz comes to us from a certified, unequivocal, bonafide Barossa Valley icon! Rich and powerful with a persistant, long finish, this easily has a good 10+ years of drinking ahead. Beyond the hype and the high praise (95 Sam Kim, 94 Ken Gargett, 4.1 Vivino), this is a wine that makes good on all of its promises. Blue and black fruited, big, powerful, inky, structural and generous with lashings of chocolate and coffee giving balance to profound oak. We've been trying to get our hands on this wine for a while now, and we've finally done it. So kick back, pour yourself a glass, and celebrate with us Mofo. We've earned it.
