I have bought the six pack so I can see what all the fuss is about.

I tasted them several weeks back. All impressive as usual. Elegant, restrained and terroir very distinct. The ST stood out for me, loved the Andelmonde and Standish. Relic most approachable as always. Lamella felt out of whack but prob needed another weeks worth of breathing.

For the Canberran pinot lovers, you can pick up Stefano Lubiana Pinot Noir for $31.47 in a six from the Franklin BWS (10% off in a six, additional 10% off storewide, 24% cashback at shopback ($25 cap)).

Thanks for this, @butters_1313! Were you able to make the double 10% (in 6x and storewide) work in a single order? No dice on my end, unfortunately.

Hmmm, worked for me in my cart (although I didn't end up buying). I was logged in as a member...

This is probably one of the best deals that I have come across at Skye Cellars.
Join to be a member regardless using a promo code SKYECLUB to save on $50 joining fee.

I have tried Dowie Doole Cali Road shiraz 2022 and it was superb - tried it yesterday against Meshach 2018 and it held its head high.
Definitely not for cool climate hipsters and faint hearted - it is a big and powerful yet well-made SA shiraz from McLaren Vale.
Haven't tried the Reserve Shiraz so I grabbed a mixed pack to try.

Here are the links for the Dowie Doole wines:

Dowie Doole CALI ROAD Reserve Shiraz 2022

Certain vineyards produce exceptional fruit, creating distinctive wines. Norm Doole's California Road Vineyard is one of those treasures, producing low yielding, outstanding fruit. Reflect

Dowie Doole RESERVE Shiraz 2022

Our Reserve Shiraz is made to showcase McLaren Vale shiraz with its classical, rich, generous characters entwined with fine tannins and new French oak.

www.skyecellars.com.au

Discount Code: DOWIE

It gives 20% off from the displayed price on all 3 deals So just under $13 a bottle or thereabouts in any combination.

RRP for the Cali Road is $80 and for the Reserve is $150 from the DD website. Not that it matters as I doubt they were ever sold for that.
VM has or had both for $25 a bottle.

Here are some reviews

Dowie Doole Cali Road Shiraz 2022 — Campbell Mattinson

Mattinson review of Dowie Doole Cali Road Shiraz 2022.

Reserve Shiraz says

Halliday Wine Companion
Outstanding
“This comes from a small block replanted in '74 on the California Road Vineyard. Oak maturation in French puncheons and hogsheads, 50% new. In keeping with all these '16 DD reds, there's ripeness and fullness without the sweetness of style the region can produce. Dark berry fruit, chocolate, cedar and mocha are all in the mix along with robust tannin.” – Steven Creber

Thanks - just got a dozen of the reserve shiraz

 

[burmans]

Double thanks, I previously had a membership to Skye Club and they keep sending me texts which look interesting but can’t even see what they are without the joining fee. This helps me at least look and I certainly bought last time!

This is probably one of the best deals that I have come across at Skye Cellars.

Are there any other McLaren Vale Shirazes that would you liken to these Dowies? I'm a fan of Mitolo, Pertaringa, Pirramimma, Haselgrove, d'Arenberg, etc.

 

[burmans]

Mitolo GAM $145/6

 

[olympicwiz]

@wentworthmeister I would consider Dowie Doole Cali Road Shiraz 2022 that I have tried to be fuller bodied than both Mitolo GAM and Savitar that I had, definitely better and fuller bodied than the Pertaringa Undercover Shiraz and I can't really recall Over the Top that I had.

Perhaps similar to Pirramimma Warhorse shiraz, Hasselgrove The Lear and d'Arenburg the Dead Arm in terms of the fullbodied characteristics but still different. I think the YouTube video clip that I posted describes the Cali Shiraz very well. I haven't tried the Dowie Doole Reserve Shiraz so can't really say.
