Best Value Reds

With member pricing under $50 for all (and under $30 for 4 of the wines!) you would be hard-pressed to find better value red wines in Australia - in fact, the Millbrook 2022 Regional GSM was recently awarded a trophy for the best value wine in the country!

The 6 wines have collectively been awarded 5 trophies and 18 gold medals, including the prestigious Max Schubert Trophy for Most Outstanding Red Wine (Evans & Tate 2019 Redbrook Estate Shiraz) and The Dan Murphy's Value Perennial Trophy for Best Value Wine (Millbrook 2022 Regional GSM). There is also the Dalwhinnie 2022 LDR Shiraz which is made from the same fruit as The Eagle Shiraz (priced at $185), a silky Tasmanian Pinot Noir for under $30 and 2 of the most popular best value Deep Woods Estate reds.

Halliday Wine Companion 2024

At once powerful yet contained with the varieties (percentage split unknown) beautifully matched. While the classy cabernet aromas and flavours come through, they are rendered more savoury by the malbec and oak. The fuller-bodied palate is alive and vibrant, flavours build and the tannins have presence, all textural and ripe. The finish lingers long as will this wine as in at least two decades.

Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion 2023

Fruit from the Deep Woods vineyard in Yallingup (in the north). Up to 14 days on skins, seperate batches are sent straight to barrel for maturation in French oak (15% new). $25, and you know it's going to be good. Fine, shapely, powdery tannins (slightly chewy, too) back up the concentrated, ripe, red and black berry fruit. With a sprinkling of ground star anise, peppercorns and laced together with briny acidity, this is a cracking little wine. Super-smart.

Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion 2024

Fresh, attractive varietal flavour with spice notes inlaid and high drinkability all-around. If you have an itch to drink Pinot Noir, this scratches it pretty well. It offers sweet-sour cherry flavours, cedar-smoked oak, a touch of mint and a flash of undergrowth. It feels shy/abbreviated on the finish when it's first opened, but given a little time to breathe, it extends nicely.

Ray Jordan's Top 100 Reds 2023

A mighty good partner to the Cabernet from the same vintage. This is thick and densely concentrated with lashings of dark plum, fruitcake and rich dark chocolate. Add to that some mulberry and savoury oak influences and you have an outstanding example of Shiraz from the heart of Margaret River.
