2019	Glaetzer	Shiraz ‘Bishop’	The 2019 Bishop Shiraz is all Shiraz and all from the Ebenezer district of the northern Barossa Valley. Aged almost exclusively in second, third and fourth use oak (mostly French), it features slight herbal overtones to the black cherry and black olive notes. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, supple, generous and reasonably concentrated, folding in hints of peppery spice and mocha shadings on the velvety, mouthwatering finish.

2018	Glaetzer	Shiraz ‘Bishop’	All Shiraz, all from the Ebenezer section of the northern Barossa, the 2018 Bishop Shiraz is a super value in the context of Barossa, and Australian Shiraz in general. Matured in only 5% new oak hogsheads, it delivers bountiful cherry and raspberry fruit, accented by hints of mocha and cola. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and juicy, fruity and lush, but reined in by firm, savory tannins on the long, mouthwatering finish. It should drink well for up to a decade.

2017	Glaetzer	Shiraz ‘Bishop’	Like all of the Glaetzer bottlings tasted this year, the fruit comes from the Ebenezer subregion in the northern reaches of the Barossa Valley. The 2017 Bishop Shiraz combines blueberry and boysenberry fruit on the nose, and flavors from the fruit flow easily across the palate, picking up hints of raspberries and baking spices. It's medium to full-bodied, supple and juicy, with a long, mouthwatering finish.	Wine Advocate	91		2022-02-22
2018	Glaetzer	Red Blend ‘Wallace’	Glaetzer's least-expensive offering is a terrific bargain. The 2018 Wallace Shiraz-Grenache is a 72-28 blend, offering hints of cola and plum on the nose, backed by brighter raspberry and strawberry notes. It's medium to full-bodied and framed by silky, fine-grained tannins, with a long, mouthwatering finish that hints at mocha and wood spice. Drink this beauty over the next 6-7 years.

2017	Glaetzer	Red Blend ‘Wallace’	Yes, the 2017 Wallace Shiraz-Grenache blend is heavily weighted toward Shiraz (as usual), but it's the Grenache that makes itself known on the nose, adding lovely florals and raspberries to the slightly darker toned fruit of the Shiraz. Medium to full-bodied, this is supple yet crisp—perhaps a bit youthful and angular—but finishes with silky tannins and plenty of length. In another year or two, it might rival the impressive 2016.

2019	Morgan	Cotes du Crows' Monterey	This always satisfying blend of 62% Grenache, 29% Syrah, 5% Tempranillo and 4% Cinsault begins with aromas of dark-cherry compote, root beer and star anise, proving rather complex while still fresh. Roasted cherry and hickory-smoke flavors give a warm angle to the sip, where savory charcuterie and fig flavors also arise.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-02-21
2016	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva	Ripe dark-skinned fruit, cedar and scorched earth aromas shape the nose. The mature palate offers blackberry jam, star anise and tobacco alongside polished tannins. Drink 2023–2028.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-02-21
2017	Elia Palazzesi	Brunello di Montalcino	Aromas of black-skinned berries, forest floor and leather come to the forefront. The structured, balanced palate offers black cherry jam, licorice and white pepper alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2029.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-02-21
2020	Keuka Spring	Riesling ‘Humphreys Vineyard’	There’s depth and intensity to the aromas of ripe apple, peach and lemon iced tea on the nose. The palate shows a gentle, rounded texture yet still maintains tension and grip, with pithy lemon lifting it all up while juicy orchard-fruit flavors linger on the finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2022-02-21
2020	Keuka Spring	Riesling	This well-balanced sweeter style of Riesling delivers luscious flavors of peach and mango drizzled with honey, all the while lifted by a bright pink-grapefruit tone. There’s an earthy tone to the finish, akin to gently sweet lemon iced tea.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2022-02-21
