Critics Ratings

'Muscular and peppery with savoury and intriguing earthy notes, 05 loses its usual Viognier splash; a touch less bright than graceful 04. But subtle and refined as ever; gentle, polished tannins; persistent. Unfined/filtered. Mostly older oak.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4*

Seductive in texture and leathery in flavour (sounds quite X-rated really), but it also has freshness and frankness and great balance. This is a complex wine that is very fairly priced for what it offers. Winemaker Chris Williams should take a bow on this one. Just the right sort of restraint.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Nov 2009)

'Lush but focused, with blackberry and fig fruit that races along with a nice graphite undertow. Spice and toast notes fill out the lengthy finish. Really fleshes out nicely with air.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (May 2009)
