Vintages New Release Collection – July 19, 2025

MT. MONSTER SINGLE VINEYARD SHIRAZ 2022 Limestone Coast, South Australia Garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry and leather, garrigue, and cocoa nibs and pepper with a velvety, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish that exhibits touches of red and black cherry, grilled herbs, and pepper and leather with crunchy, chewy, well-integrated tannins and light oak flavor. Just damn tasty Syrah! A little bit Aussie, a little bit Cali, and a little bit riper vintage Rhone while being all around delicious. Exceptional. Best Buy. Score: 94 (tastings.com, Feb. 7, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 30710 (XD) 750 mL $16.95 2 Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2022 delivers bold character without bruising your wallet ... This Barossa red brims with ripe black cherries, cassis, and a whisper of smoked herbs, unfolding into notes of clove, mocha, and vanilla from a generous swirl in the glass. It’s velvety but not flabby, with a backbone of spice that gives it both power and polish. Pair it with pulled pork tacos, a mushroom ragù over creamy polenta, or aged cheddar for a fireside nibble. Peter Lehmann’s legacy is blended into every drop – he famously stood by Barossa’s growers when no one else would, turning excess grapes into iconic wines that now carry the story of resilience and regional pride. Drink: 2025-2030. Score: 93 nataliemaclean.com, March 29, 2025) Full-bodied & Smooth 522235 (XD) 750 mL $19.95 2 PETER LEHMANN THE BAROSSAN SHIRAZ 2022 Barossa, South Australia
