First up, it was Wynnsday. On the first Wednesday of August every year, Wynns Coonawarra Estate releases their wines for the year. 2018 was a John Riddoch release, arguably the flagship Coonawarra Cabernet, and with a 99 point score from Andrew Caillard MW, this will be a lynchpin vintage in any John Riddoch vertical. The 2016 Black Label, the definitive Coonawarra Cabernet, took home a 98 point score from Mr. Caillard. What a Wynnsday! More

This week we also released two new vintages from Chris Ringland — the 2013 Dimchurch and the 2009 Hoffmann. We released a selection of mixed cases including a Tasmanian Pinot mix, an interstate Riesling mix and a value McLaren Vale Shiraz mix. We also released a 2004 museum collection and, when that sold out, we released a small number of 2005 museum cases. The aged wine love didn't end there, as we also took a look at the Classified 'Outstanding' 2001 1860 Vines Shiraz from Tahbilk. Seventeen years of bottle-age, and with plenty of time to develop, this right on point to drink now. More
