Langmeil Hangin' Snakes Shiraz Viognier 2012, The Long Mile, Barossa, South Australia, Australia: Minty blackberry nose with plush plum flavours on the palate. Generous, full-bodied and lovely. Dark, concentrated and complex with the dark fruit intensity from the Shiraz and the lifted flavours and brightness through the mid-palate from a splash of Viognier. Classic Barossa in all its glory. Some eucalyptus and black pepperoni the finish. Try it with grilled or blackened chicken. Drink: 2014-2018. 77685 14.50% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100. August 16, 2014

Viña Chocalán Reserva Syrah 2012, Maipo Valley, Chile: Rich and full-bodied with attractive aromas and flavours of fleshy black plum and coffee-mocha. Supple and mouth-filling. Amazingly great price. Try it with grilled pork chops. Note the grape name is Syrah, not Shiraz, which is appropriate as this Chilean red has an Old World soul that belongs to the Rhone Valley, but its heart is pure Maipo Valley. Try this wine with a rack of lamb. Drink: 2013-2018. 38513 14% XD 750 mL $15.95 Score: 90/100. December 6, 2014
