Critics Ratings

'From heavier clay soil, & a marked contrast to Gravel Hill: this an Aussie-style extrovert, with upfront vanilla-oak, open almost gulpable texture - though pimento-toned 2008 is shade more elegant, less opulent than previous, reflecting vintage.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5*

'Mature, with mint, sage and bay leaf notes emerging from the core of crushed plum, steeped boysenberry and blackberry fruit. A hefty dose of melted licorice hangs on the finish.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Jun 2013)

'A big and bold Shiraz, dark fruit aromas and flavors of fig, black cherry and plum abound. Glimmers of sweet spice and smoke unfold softly, showing the promise of additional complexities and nuance that should continue to develop with time. Firmly structured tannins help to frame the lush, ripe palate, and provide a gripping texture to the long close. Try after 2015 and beyond.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (May 2013)
