2020	Glaetzer	Shiraz 'Amon Ra'	Always a picture of pure fruit density and latent power, the latest release of Ben Glaetzer’s Amon Ra continues that theme of Barossa concentration. Glossy blackberry, black cherry and satsuma plum fruit flow readily, that compact Ebenezer power on full display. Hints of baking spice, earth, licorice and dark chocolate come into play, along with tightly packed, gypsum-like tannins for support, impressive acid cadence and a persistent and enduring exit. Always impressive.	James Halliday	96		2025-11-05
2020	Glaetzer	Shiraz 'Amon Ra'	I’ve looked at this wine many times over the years, almost exclusively as an older/cellared wine. The impact it has made is strong, and so it is through this lens that I now view this 2020 Amon-Ra Shiraz. This year’s Amon-Ra is concentrated, dense and absolutely, utterly saturated with flavor. The fruit that spirals within the bounds of the firm tannins is fleshy and pure, and with the knowledge that the wine sails through the decade with noiseless grace, it is all the more impressive in its infancy now. A brilliant wine – all ductile and proud. Yes. Drink Date 2022 – 2042.	Wine Advocate	97		2025-11-05
NV	Stel+Mar	Pinot Noir	Bright, juicy red fruit joins a delicate touch of autumnal spice, a rose bouquet, and subtle peppercorn on the nose of this Pinot Noir from a family-owned winery. With soft tannins and a pleasing herbal quality that extends from the entry to the savory finish, it's easy like Sunday morning.	Tasting Panel	93		2025-11-03
2024	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Coming in at eye level with the 2023 I tasted last year, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée Réservée shows well, offering pronounced aromas of dried chamomile, straw, honeysuckle and crushed rocks. Refined and complex, this medium- to full-bodied white is framed by bright acidity, showcasing elegance and vitality over power. It closes with a gentle phenolic bite on the long, sapid finish. This can be enjoyed right out of the gate.	Vinous	92		2025-10-31
2022	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Cassis pastilles, strawberry jam, black cherry compote and a flicker of garrigue introduce the delicious 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée. Powerful, juicy and flamboyant in character, the 2022 might not have the sheer class and overall harmony as the standout 2020, but buyers can look forward to an open-knit, cellar-worthy Cuvée Réservée that’s going to demand at least four more years before starting to show its full potential.

2024	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee a Tempo	Entering the scene with a flinty whiff, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo is wonderful. Precise lemon flesh, honeysuckle, yellow apple and wet stone all come alive. Touching the medium- to full-bodied palate with stellar drive and energy, the 2024 is built around a firm acidic backbone, packing superb chisel all the way through to the focused finish.

2024	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape	This sample of the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée, tasted at the winery, is marked by reduction and needs time to open up. After 30 minutes in the glass, ripe red fruits, minty tones and dried herbs emerge. Underpinned by ripe tannins and showing a cool-toned, classic expression, the 2024 is a remarkably elegant Cuvée Réservée.	Vinous	90-92		2025-10-31
2023	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee a Tempo	Entering the scene with a flinty whiff, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo is wonderful. Precise lemon flesh, honeysuckle, yellow apple and wet stone all come alive. Touching the medium- to full-bodied palate with stellar drive and energy, the 2024 is built around a firm acidic backbone, packing superb chisel all the way through to the focused finish.

2023	St. Urbans-Hof	Riesling QbA 'Nik Weis Old Vines'	Shows balance and deliciousness, with just enough plumpness, plus the subtlest hint of sweetness, held in check by a zip of energy and spine of crushed slate. Pings with lime peel oil, apple and elderflower notes. Juicy and round but never feels heavy.	Wine Spectator	90		2025-10-29
2022	Mayr	Gruner Veltliner	There are Grüner Veltliners that are made to age and then there are bottles like this — delicious liters ready to share. Waxy Meyer lemons and salty house made bistro butter on the nose. The palate is round and juicy with a bright, refreshing acidity.	VinePair	90		2025-10-29
