98 Point Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 $299 a 6pack. Total value $1080. Only 32 cases available. First in first served.

Free membership required.

98 points - Andrew Caillard MW - 2021 - "Deep crimson. Classic cassis, blackberry, black olive tapenade, leafy aromas with vanilla, cedar notes. Well balanced powerful wine with saturated blackcurrant, dark plum praline, brambly flavours, fine grainy/ al-dente tannins, and underlying cedar oak complexity. Finishes leafy firm with plentiful dark fruits and extract. Superb fruit definition, volume and torque. Cellar for a while. 14.5% alc 2024 – 2040"

96 Gold Points - Jane Faulkner - Halliday Rating Published 13 Aug 2021 "It seems this vintage of Thomas Hardy is straight Coonawarra (often it’s a multi-regional blend). Excellent dark purple hue. It's deep, rich and complex. More savoury accents among the hint of cassis and currants. Concentrated, with a density across the full-bodied palate, yet the oak is seamlessly integrated, the tannins ripe and plush. A rather polished wine, built for aging."

95 Points - James Suckling 2021 "Australia’s two great cabernet regions, Coonawarra and Margaret River, blended together to deliver a powerful and intense style. Aromas of cassis and black cherry as well as cedar and coal dust, roasting herbs and a dark stones….The palate has nicely groomed tannins and a polished intensity. Concentrated but composed. ….”

          Is this a good price?

              @xwx: Thank so much for your comment mate. This would make an incredible bday gift good idea. I'm bowing out due to budget but enjoyed your insight

                  @xwx: Blackwell is currently $33 at CellarOne

                  If you like St Hallett, 2018 Old Block is currently $79 a bottle. Damn good pricing considering it's usually about 150 at Dan's. 18 was a good year for the Barossa too

                  The $99 welcome pack is ridiculously good value and thoroughly recommended

                    • PCHammond on 28/04/2025 - 17:00

                      @xwx: Old block is great, but it's really one that heavily benefits from plentiful age. I've been finding cool climate shiraz to be much more approachable young.
                      17 is seen as a weaker Barossa year. Cooler and more rain. 18 was pretty good

                      I personally haven't bought any white from CO. I only really drink riesling, unoaked chardonnay and white frontignac (in the summer).

            @FlyingPanda99: This is a great price.

            But bear in mind, CellarOne is owned/run by a large corporation that owns many brands, which is why they can discount big brands so much. There should be no issue with storage for back vintages, since it would be coming from the (corporation owned) wineries and storage facilities themselves.

            I personally have bought many wines from this site and enjoy them. But I try and support family owned wineries as much as I can, and buy direct as much as I can.

            Is this a good deal? Yes. Would I personally buy it? No. I am a Shiraz man, or shiraz/cab. I have also been finding that I drink less now, so I have been buying nicer wine instead.

            I can happily give Shiraz recommendations. Reynella do both Shiraz and cab sav and they both are often around $30 on sale at Cellar One.

                @xwx: I'm not a Hardys fan. It's not what it used to be anymore since it was bought by a corporation.

                From the CO site, I usually get the Reynella Shiraz. For about $30 it's damn good and easy to drink. It's occasionally sub 30, but even at 30 its a great buy. Dan's sells it for about $55. Grant Burge wines are also good value there: Shadrach has had some good deals, and The Holy Trinity is always a good drop at a good price. I only order from CO when it's a really good deal and I can look past giving money to a corporation.

                At the moment I usually just buy
                Rockford: Moppa Springs, Rod & Spur, Rifle Range, BP, White Frontignac
                Ballycroft: both Shiraz
                As much Standish that I can get my hands on/afford
                Phase 3 Dero
                And then fill in the gaps with whatever I come across like Rusden, Laughing Jack, Eperosa, Hahndorf Hill, Hentley Farm. If I go to Parafield Airport Liquor Store, I try and walk away with something with a bit of age.

                  @PCHammond: The Reynella Shiraz is great value

                    @xwx: In my opinion, Hardys in the last 20 years isn't great like it used to be. There are plenty of other wines that are better for similar pricing. The brand honestly seems neglected by the owners.

                    There's really so many good wines from smaller wineries. It's actually pretty fun finding new amazing wineries. I've really been focusing on SA, particularly the Barossa, but there's so many good wines coming from all over the country and at various price points and from great small wineries that are passionate about their craft.

                  2023 apparently being released today - i bought 2022 The Standish & The Relic for $85 each at Vintage Cellars the other week :)

                I'm definitely interested in your experiences and recommendations.

                besides Old Block and Blackwell, my Cellar One suggestions are here :)

    3.9 rating on vivino, many cheaper wines with higher rating out there.

    • mandelbrot on 28/04/2025 - 15:56

      4.0 for 2017

      Ehh. I find too many people put too much of an emphasis on Vivino. It's really just a guide. Individual tastes vary so much, as does age, preparation and what you eat it with.

        +1 CellarTracker is better :)
