Critics Ratings

'The 2009 Syrah is a little diffuse on the nose with macerated red cherries, marmalade, fig and allspice. The palate is full-bodied with sweet ripe dark cherries, soy and a touch of white pepper. I feel it would have benefited with a little more structure on the finish, but otherwise this is a fine Shiraz.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 89/100 (2012)
