"All the good stuff: dry-grown and fermented under the aegis of wild yeast; a smattering of whole-bunch seasoning (25%), French oak (20% new), conferring poise, freshness and authority. As far as Barossa shiraz goes, this is benchmark. Plush but nicely taut. A stream of boysenberry fruit and violet scents sashay to a samba of thyme, tapenade and smoked meats, nicely avoiding any sense of reduction, or clunky jam. This is smart. Very. - Ned Goodwin"

"A dark-fruited, savory shiraz with a compact and intense core of cracked pepper, tar, roasted herbs, black plums, black olives and blueberries. The tannins are seamlessly integrated. Creamy and full-bodied, yet with elegance. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
