Wine in Black

Le vigneron Bruce Dukes est un obsédé de terroir. Il reflète cette origine dans sa cuvée 'Rebus' depuis 2012. En effet, les raisins utilisés pour ce vin proviennent de nombreuses parcelles de cabernet que Dukes a acquises au fil du temps dans toute la région de Margaret River. Chaque parcelle a un sol différent, ce qui donne au vin une expression unique. Les raisins sont vinifiés par parcelle, puis le vin est élevé pendant 12 mois en fût de chêne français. Ce n'est qu'ensuite que l'on procède à l'assemblage des différents lots afin de saisir les caractéristiques de la région dans son ensemble et de le mettre en bouteille. Dans ce cas, on retrouve des notes de cassis, de prune noire et de cerise noire ainsi que de violette et de pointe de crayon. En bouche, le vin est élégant et concentré, avec des tanins fermes et une finale épicée. Un travail remarquable pour un prix si raisonnable !

James Halliday

Matured for 12 months in French oak (40% new). The bouquet is a fragrant mix of cassis and cedar/cigar box, the intense palate with a tapestry of flavours of cassis and savoury bay leaf. Yet it has the ligh of tannin touches encouraging a quick return to the glass.

James Suckling

From a vintage that is so highly regarded in Margaret River, this is strong on aromas of violets and blackcurrants with light cedar and spicy-oak influence. The palate has a sense of real elegance with such impressive concentration. Layered and fine-grained with bright berry and cherry flavors.

James Suckling

A pure and rather pinot-esque bobal that delivers excellent drinkability and delineated aromas of red flowers, stones, raspberries and potpourri. A hint of grilled thyme and Mediterranean herbs. Textured and pure on the palate with excellent precision and focus. An elegant, effortless and beautiful bobal that really speaks to you with finesse, texture and poise. From organically grown grapes. Quite irresistible now, but can hold.

The 2021 La Estrecha has a perfumed nose with floral notes (it could make you think of Garnacha), hints of aromatic herbs and polished and elegant tannins. This fermented in an oak foudre and matured in used 600-liter French oak barrels for 10 months. It's serious, with depth and complexity, a wine that is special in the portfolio, from a special vineyard. It feels tighter than the 2022. 4,200 bottles were filled in July 2022.

A blend of the 2015 and 2016 vintages, the NV Côtes du Rhône S M checks in as the same equal parts Grenache and Syrah raised in tank and barrel. A huge nose of cassis, ground black pepper, garrigue, and olive tapenade gives way to a ripe, rounded, medium to full-bodied effort that has good acidity, building tannin, a seamless, light texture, and a great finish. It's a singular wine that has a big kiss of Northern Rhône Syrah with a touch of the rounded, sexy, opulent style of the south. It's going to drink nicely for a decade.

Robert Parker

A blend of 50% Syrah from the Northern Rhône with 50% Grenache from the Southern Rhône, the NV Vin de France SM Second Edition is a fascinating wine, combining smoky, peppery, herbal notes with ripe black cherries. Full-bodied, plush and velvety, Vignon allows that it's "more 2016 than 2015" in style, but no matter how you characterize it, it's a lovely, complex wine.

Robert Parker

This wine comes from a high-elevation vineyard located 600 meters above sea level; however, the horizon is very open here, allowing for greater luminosity. The 2017 Taurasi Feudi Studi Rosamilia reveals a very textured and open-knit style, although the aromas here are more lifted and bright. You get the standard plummy black fruit, but this wine also displays floral tones and dried rose petal. Production is 2,000 bottles.

Very classic character to this with toasted oak, hints of consomme, meat and dried lemon. Medium body with crisp, firm tannins.

The 2017 Cune Gran Reserva comes from a very challenging year marked by frost and a dry and warm end of the season, but it shows very good freshness and youth, transcending the adverse conditions of the year. It's a blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo with good ripeness and 14% alcohol; it's approachable and affordable with a mix of developed and fruit-driven characteristics. It matured in oak barrels for 24 months, and the oak is neatly folded into the wine. Great effort for the vintage.
