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.I have bought the six pack so I can see what all the fuss is about.![]()

Thanks for this, @butters_1313! Were you able to make the double 10% (in 6x and storewide) work in a single order?

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

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.

Reserve Shiraz says
Halliday Wine Companion
Outstanding
āThis 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.ā ā Steven Creber

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

Thanks for sharing!! If I read correctly the reserve used French oak versus American for the 2022 cali rd.@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.
Seems that way. The Cali road was 24 months 50% new and 50% one year old American oak by looking at the back label. So Reserve should be a bit more elegant I suppose.Thanks for sharing!! If I read correctly the reserve used French oak versus American for the 2022 cali rd.
Arguably deal of century$22.99 at Winestar if you can cope with a dozen

Went for the V&A, reckon it's a cracking dropNew Cellar Door Unlocked credits just dropped.
Put my $25 towards a bottle of Coldstream Hills Reserve Pinot Noir for $39.
Looks like the Wynns V&A Cab Shiraz is the cheapest purchase at $18 a bottle.
(Was contemplating St Huberts The Stag rose too at $59 for a case but the pinot won out.)
Many thanks @olympicwiz, just grabbed a mixed pack.This is probably one of the best deals that I have come across at Skye Cellars.
