Critics Ratings

'Plush black cherry, crème de cassis and strong violet-scented bouquet that is heady and yet still very delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe black cherry and blueberry fruit, very fine tannin, cashmere in texture but with the structure on the finish to suggest that long-term aging will be required. Excellent.' – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Nov 2015)

'Decadent notes of fresh caramel, plum sauce and raspberry coulis lend richness to the nose of this seductive Shiraz. Additional notes of black cherry and blackberry are laced by forward notes of toasted oak, sweet spice, black pepper and fennel. The palate is plush and full, with a texture like crushed velvet and spicy notes of mocha, sweet smoke and pepper that hold on tightly through the finish. Drink 2017–2022.' – Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100 (Oct 2015)

'Bright, deep ruby-red. Deep aromas of cassis, black cherry and peppery spices. Seriously rich, dense and sweet; a chewy Shiraz with lively peppery lift to its dark fruit flavors. Sound acidity gives shape and lift to finish. Dense yet light on its feet, with solid dusty tannins to support ageing.' – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Sep 2015)
