Critics Ratings

‘Offers a lovely beam of pure raspberry and boysenberry fruit, with hints of vanilla, mineral and kirsch on the long finish. Delivers a lot of fruit, with fine-grained tannins. Yet shows a minerally elegance. Drink now through 2008.’ – Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2007)

‘Bright ruby-red. Sexy aromas of black fruits, truffle and smoky oak. Suave on entry, then smooth yet firm in the middle, with varietally expressive flavors of dark fruits, meat, licorice and chocolate. Very rich wine with a restrained sweetness. Finishes with broad, fine tannins. Rudi Schultz shares winemaking duties at Thelema with Gyles Webb.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2007)

‘This wine has an exuberant, juicy quality to it that is extremely attractive for solo sipping. Bright berry and spice on the nose are followed by mouthwatering, round fruit in the mouth. Pepper and spice mingle with good structure and a long finish, making this an impressive showing from Schultz.’ – Susan Kostrzewa, Wine Enthusiast (Nov 2007)
