2012 The Bryson Barrel Select Red - 93 PTS - WA

wa93"A 60-40 blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2012 The Bryson Barrel Select offers minty notes layered over dark fruit. Roasted meat, blueberry and cassis also play roles in this full-bodied but structured wine that appears to be at or near peak maturity. - Joe Czerwinski"

2013 The Bryson Barrel Select Red - 94 PTS - Halliday Wine Companion

halliday logo"55% shiraz and 45% cabernet sauvignon. Intense purple-crimson colour, and a notably complex array of fruit aromas and flavours augmented by 18 months in new and used French and American oak. Plum cake, dark chocolate and gently chewy tannins are all part of a complex jigsaw puzzle."

2013 The Bryson Barrel Select Red - 95 PTS - Wine Orbit

wine orbit logo"Gorgeously complex and sensual, the wine shows crème de cassis, sweet plum and spicy oak characters on the nose with nuances of game and tobacco. It’s mouthfilling and expansive on the palate with layers of delectable flavours and silky texture, making it immensely appealing. At its best: now to 2025. AU$55.00. - Sam Kim"

2014 The Bryson Barrel Select Red - 95 PTS - Halliday Wine Companion

halliday logo"60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Matured in a mix of new and used French and American oak for 18 months. It is full-bodied, but has excellent balance and structure, black fruits and oak operating hand in glove, kept honest by the fine, but persistent, tannins. Screwcap. 14.5% alc"

2014 The Bryson Barrel Select Red - 96 PTS - Wine Orbit

wine orbit logo"A magnificent blend of two classic grapes; the hugely appealing bouquet shows blackberry, sweet cherry, anise, chocolatey oak and cake spice aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that displays awesome depth and intensity. It’s opulent and substantial, wonderfully framed by velvety tannins, making it totally delicious. At its best: now to 2026.- Sam Kim"

2016 The Bryson Barrel Select Red - 94 PTS - Halliday Wine Companion

halliday logo"70% Shiraz and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit and oak combine here to produce a powerful, full-bodied red with coffee, toast, blackberry and rick plum flavours pouring through the palate. Tannin taps gently at the brakes: peppercorn and pine notes add lift: creaminess to the texture keeps everything running smoothly. Screwcap. 14.5% alc."
