Shaw + Smith - 1 Wine Dude	Pinot Noir	2017		Dec-2019
Review “It is hereby commanded that you bring your king more of this peppery, bright goodness, immediately." (A-)
Shaw + Smith - Australian Wine Review	M3 Chardonnay - 2018	2018		Dec-2019
Review “What I like about the M3 – and all the Shaw + Smith wines – is the sense of precision. A wine of cool professionalism, without sacrificing approachability. A welcome tip- toe balance between ripe-enough white peach fruit, sculpted by oak and subtle winemaking touches, and the support brace of acidity to bring everything together with sparkling freshness. What’s equally remarkable is that S + S achieved all this in a vintage that you’d not call easy. I’m even putting it out there that this ’18 vintage tops the (superb) ’17, in contrast to the prevailing vintage norms. The only quibble, hard to find, is whether it is too delicate, too lean. Still, masterfully crafted, precise modern Chardonnay with flavour AND acidity? I’m in. We’re in.”
Shaw + Smith - Santé	Pinot Noir	2017		Dec-2019
Review “Very nice, clean, classic Pinot with tight and tart cherry flavors and metallic, minerally notes in the finish.”
Shaw + Smith - Jamessuckling.com	M3 Chardonnay	2017	96	Dec-2019
Review “A stunning chardonnay for the intensity and complexity it delivers, this has attractive flinty aromas aligned with white peaches and nectarines. The palate has mouthwatering intensity with fresh acidity and very attractive fruit purity. Grilled hazelnuts to close.” (#77)
Henschke - Wine Enthusiast	Henschke Croft Chardonnay	2016	91	Aug-2019
Review “In true Henschke style, this Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a sleek and polished wine with plenty of character. Stone fruits, cream, flint, nuts, white pepper and a copper penny tang make up the nose, while the palate tingles with lifted acidity and a slippery finish. Bright peachy fruit and oak spice linger long after the first sip has been swallowed. Drink now–2027.”
Henschke - Jamessuckling.com	Henschke Croft Chardonnay	2017	96	Jul-2019
Review “A cooler vintage has delivered a rich and complex chardonnay with such supple, fine, layered white peaches and grilled hazelnuts on the palate. Peach-sorbet-like texture that’s compact and long. Excellent purity and poise.”
Shaw + Smith - Jamessuckling.com	M3 Chardonnay	2017	96	Jul-2019
Review “A stunning chardonnay for the intensity and complexity it delivers, this has attractive flinty aromas aligned with white peaches and nectarines. The palate has mouthwatering intensity with fresh acidity and very attractive fruit purity. Grilled hazelnuts to close.”
Shaw + Smith - Jamessuckling.com	Pinot Noir	2018	94	Jul-2019
Review “The dried-strawberry and orange-peel character here is so enticing and energetic with hints of walnuts and dried flowers. Medium body, light and fine tannins and a crisp finish.”
Shaw + Smith - Jamessuckling.com	Shiraz	2016	95	Jul-2019
Review “So beautiful and polished with extremely soft and tender tannins that give form to this ripe and enticing shiraz. Plums and wet earth, as well as dusty and grilled-meat undertones.”
Henschke - Jamessuckling.com	Henschke Giles Pinot Noir	2017	94	Jul-2019
Review “This has a very attractive red-cherry core of fruit with baked berry pastry and quite supple, fleshy and mouthwatering fruit intensity. There’s a fresh, crunchy and fleshy feel here with a wealth of plush, attractive and fleshy fruit at the finish.”
