Not sure what VM is peddling here, I love Margaret River Cab Savs so any clues would be appreciated https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/black-market-deal-cabernet-sauvignon-2014-17fe6205?

Another vintage of the Capel Vale Cellar Exclusive I'm guessing. Not really that exclusive

Edit: has garnered relatively good reviews (Halliday and the various forums), so not a bad wine usually

Not my speed (or I suspect yours) but concur Capel Vale most likely.

Thanks AC, I posted that fairly late at night and did a bit of sleuthing afterwards that narrowed it down to Capel Vale but as it's a "cellar exclusive" didn't get any further...

Not my speed (or I suspect yours) but concur Capel Vale most likely.

Thanks Sed, I seem to recall getting it in a mixed dozen last year and was mildly disappointed if I remember correctly, I must say the 'FO's offerings haven't ignited much enthusiasm in me lately!

Surely the recent Heathcote Estate Shiraz at half price is a good deal!

Hi Guys,
Pretty sure it's not Dappled, I have not bottled the 2016 "Swallowfield" Pinot noir yet and I don't sell to Vinomofo.

I think it's another Santarossa/Fratelli/Santa D'Sas wine of some kind.

But do you buy from them?

"Pretty sure" got a chuckle out of me

I guess so, although not having tried this wine either I'm reliant on the esteemed member's opinions (which rest assured, I sure as hell trust more than VM's hyperbole) plus I like to stick to a slightly cheaper price point...

Any thoughts on the identity of this 2009 Barossa Cabernet? $180 down to $59.90, 5 red star producer.

Not yet, going through the 5th-generation 5 red star "family" producers, nothing matches yet.

I had just assumed it was another Maverick when I saw the email, came here to see which one ... Look forward to it being identified for interest sake but I am unlikely to purchase

The notes say nothing from this winery on the 'fo for the last 4 years, so not any of the usual suspects (Maverick, Haselgrove etc.) I guess.

Can't be Maverick, says:

' The ‘Fo hasn’t had anything from this 5th gen family producer in four whole years'

But as we all know VM lies frequently.

Not many details to go on at all with this one.

I called my broker and was told it's a Grant Burge export label, so no local info around. The Shadrach from that vintage was good (typically), but is $80. I'm leaving it alone.

Maverick are 5 red star, but not 5th Generation as far as I can tell and no matching Cabernet that I could see.

Grant Burge certainly matches the winery specs.

I can't see any expensive Cabernet from them on overseas sites except Shadrach.

Fifth generation fits, but isn't the highest priced wines Grant Burge make Meshach (shiraz) and Shadrach (Cabernet). Neither of these retail for $180. Not even on the Grant Burge website.

If it's a made for export item, I'd stay well clear. We've seen these types of items from VM before and they have been duds.
