Bremerton Tamblyn Cabernet, Shiraz, Malbec, Merlot 2022
G 90
A blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Shiraz, 12% Malbec, and 6% Merlot. The nose is dark, herbal, smoky, and woody, revealing layers of prune, blackcurrant, mint, tomato leaf, olive tapenade, charred wood, cigar box, and clove, in that order. Roasted capsicum from the Cabernet opens the palate, followed by a burst of generous alcohol at the centre and relatively grippy tannins on the finish. Drink now–2030
Bremerton Special Release Tempranillo, Graciano 2022
G 90
An all-Spanish blend that works, offering a balanced display of fruity and savoury elements: polished cherries and blackberries, dark chocolate and vanilla, brewed black tea leaves, and olive tapenade. That duality continues on the palate, culminating in a medium-bodied svelte wine with plenty of refreshing tang. Drink now–2027 EKIN Wine Co Sparkling Pinot Noir Pinot Noir 2023 G 90 Pink with a faint bronze in the glass, good red fruit flavours and a terrific mousse/ bubble through its core. Well put together for an everyday party style. Drink now– 2028 Kimbolton Single Vineyard M14 Fiano 2025 G 90 A shimmering yellow colour, with vibrant aromas of melon, Kanzi red apples, pink grapefruit, Nashi pear, and fresh rosemary leaping from the glass. On the palate, it delivers a velvety texture balanced by mouth-puckering acidity. This light-bodied style layers subtle citrus honey and lemon verbena notes with crunchy green fruit flavours and a hint of saltiness on the finish. Drink now–2031 Metala White Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 G 90 There’s plenty of meat on the bones here, with dried blackberries, blackcurrant, prunes, dark cherries, cigar box, chocolate mint, and cedar. Generosity aplenty. The massive, bulky tannins are tempered only by lively acidity, while the fruit profile feels more reserved in this instance. With time, more flavours will unfold. Drink now–2038
