VM $90->$30
Rusty Mutt Vermilion Bird Shiraz 2016 - Red Wine
It's still listed at $75 on the winery site.
2016 Vermilion Bird Shiraz - Rusty Mutt Wines

https://www.qwinereviews.com/2024/08/rusty-mutt-vermilion-bird-shiraz-2016

Curious the winery have 2015/2016/2018 all on offer and chose the 2016 to flog off.

Not for the faint-hearted or oak-o-phobes, four years in oak.

I'm curious enough to grab a 6-pack with the FLASH $15 code.

Any idea of this one?

Price Drop: Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 - Black Market Deal #54783 - Red Wine

Looking for an icon cabernet? Well, we wish we could wax lyrical to you about this family owned winery, but we've promised to keep this one super hush-hush. It is an icon after all, and once it lands at your door you'll get why we're over here freaking out.

For some reason it doesn't remove the shipping cost. I reached out to VM to complain.

Even at $25 off I couldn’t find anything worth buying..

This promotion felt extra grubby.

At this stage, I imagine that everyone who frequents VM is well/over stocked with Australian shiraz. I think they would do well if they focused on sourcing better deals on other varietals and stopped cluttering the site with so much chaff, rather than trying to flog off more of the same with "FLASH, BIG BANG, BUY NOW, GOING, GOING... GOING... GO... (but not really going, are you still there? We'll offer another 'deal' in a couple of days if you are. Please stay. Pretty please? Pretty please with a 95 point Sam Kim shiraz on top???)"

Grounded Cru Inc McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021, 6-pack at $95 delivered.
VM back in 2021 had the 2017 @ $22pb delivered and it was fair value at that price.
Hoping the 2021, from a better vintage, is even better value.

My VM buys June/July so far.

Most but not all bought with a coupon code, I try to wait for the codes, but the timing for some deals don't fit the pattern.

No knock on shiraz, it's the bulk of my collection. My point is that the one reliable thing about VM—which I think we all know—is that if you're prepared to spend the time trawling through all the average stuff you will find a decent Australian shiraz, and you will generally be able to get it with a discount code before it disappears. And because of that, I don't think this sort of 'buy right now or watch your savings disppear as the hours go by' promotion is really the way to get regular customers interested.

Luckily, nobody's forcing you. But if they were, there are enough decent whites and reds there to choose from

Good shiraz does seem to dominate the better VM red offerings. I thought you'd enough in cellar to 'see you out' & had stopped buying? I speak as someone who repeatedly has said "I've stopped buying". Shame about the Sorby Vicar - I've bought some of his cheaper 2021wines ('only' 24 months in good oak for the Parish series [!], apparently 3 years for the Rev Canon) & so far the St Boniface was the unexpected standout for my taste ( have yet to try the Rev Canon '21).

There is apparently a pronounced market decline pertaining to Shiraz, reasons unclear, but hence lots of offers on some good wines amongst the mass of also-rans.
Yeah, I have too much already, but still buying a few 2021 Shiraz and a few Pinots (And a couple of friends heading north for a few weeks away from Canberra winter reduced my cellar by 2 dozen older reds ). Some of these are shared buys, cheaper ones maybe to sweeten quaffer packs I do for friends. The Rusty Mutt out of curiosity/interest and will be in a flight of 2016 Shiraz next Monday to see if it's a keeper or not.

SA Vicar of Toft Shiraz from a good vintage, I was hoping for a "baby Thing" but it didn't deliver for me (or my tasting group) as being worth $40, I'm happy to pay twice that for The (real) Thing.
