Critics Ratings

'Deep, dark, brooding 2017 gains extra concentration from 15% juice bleed-off prior to ferment. Huge amount of fruit (cherries, blackcurrants, plums) handles 100% new oak with aplomb. Don't drink it now - so much more to come.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (93 pts)

'There's a sweet edge on the nose of this ripe, lush wine, with brambly berry, raspberry sauce and vanilla-soaked cherry tones that initially abound. There's a solid underlying note of crushed purple florals and violets as well. The palate is similarly smooth and plush, with an easygoing nature that leads to a peppery finish with good lift and energy, beautifully countering the wine's inherent richness.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Sept 2019)
