Critics Ratings

'Rich but stylish, with a mix of mint, red and dark berry fruit, vanilla and cocoa flavors running along round, ripe tannins. Nice tangy, sanguine hint on the finish lends a Rhône-like feel.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Nov 2005)

'Those tired of over-oaked and over-extracted Shirazes will appreciate Webb's stand back approach. Elegant 2003 offers comfortable and characterful drinking. Finely textured with ample mélange of red fruits, lilies, and spicy nuances.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2006, 4*
