I've been getting ads for this outfit: Alpha Box & Dice | The Alphabet of Wine | McLaren Vale Winery

...I'm not imagining the blatant plagiarism of other wineries' branding, right? Henschke, Tyrrell's, Wendouree at least, probably more I'm not fancy enough to spot. As tempting as the price is, unless those are the world's least subtle cleanskins (doubtful) I'm not comfy with that at all

Went for the V&A, reckon it's a cracking drop

I had fond memories of an older V&A Lane CS from years ago when I was starting out in wine, so I was excited to grab a discounted case of the ‘21 from CD.co this week. I tried one last night and it was nice enough, but not as interesting as the Majella ‘The Musician’ ‘22 that can be had for $15ea

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

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 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

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

This deal finishes this Friday

Some interesting YouTube vids re DD

Cheers! Some great deals on Schild estate too… extra discount codes automatically apply when you go to the payment screen… so the Angus Brae comes down to $159.36/12 and the Three Springs at $161.46/6

Nice though I do seem to remember the Three Springs being closer to $140 at one stage.
