"A simple, ripe and plummy cabernet, this is sleek in texture and lasting in the intensity of its floral fruit. Warm and savory in the end, for flank steak. - Joshua GREENE

- Wine & Spirits Magazine (Spring 2024), 89 pts and BEST BUY

"Black violet color. Aromas and flavors of plum pudding, raspberry jam, cinnamon mocha latte, licorice, dark chocolate, and eucalyptus with a slightly chewy, vibrant, dryish medium-full body and a warming, subtle, medium-long finish that presents shades of key lime pie, candied jalepeno, and orange marmalade. An inky, powerful Barossa Valley Cabernet."

"Brilliant purple. Smoke-tinged black and blue fruits and a hint of licorice on the nose. Round and jammy on the palate, offering plush cherry, cassis and bitter chocolate flavors that are sharpened by a peppery nuance. Echoes the spice and cherry notes on a persistent finish that's framed by smooth, even tannins. - Josh Raynolds"

- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (December 2021), 90 pts

"Blackberry, licorice and espresso flavors show good intensity and a distinct minty herbal streak. Dense tannins mingle with a juicy element on the finish. Drink now through 2029. 4,000 cases made, 300 cases imported. — MW"

"A heady combo of ripe fruit and soapy oak lead the way on the nose of this powerful Cab. Amidst plush blackberry and cassis are notes of mint, olives and slightly charred, mocha barrel characters. Grippy leathery tannins prop up the velvety fruit, balancing this youthful, dense wine. Drink with a decanter and plenty of protein at hand. - CHRISTINA PICKARD"
- Wine Enthusiast (December 2019),88 pts

"Mint, chocolate and cassis play easily on the nose of the 2016 Terra Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of several vineyards, including a bit from Eden Valley, its medium to full-bodied yet shows the variety's hallmark restraint and fine tannins on the finish. - Joe Czerwinski"

"Bold, with dark chocolate accents to the plum, black cherry and fig flavors, set on thick, almost chewy tannins. Shows plenty of structure, black tea details and hints of smoke that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 4,000 cases made. –MW"

A terrific value if you can find it (alas, only 150 cases were imported), this is full bodied and richly textured, marrying hints of peppery spice with grilled lavender and rosemary that perfectly season the beach cherry and mocha flavors. It's stout, tannic and mouth coating on the finish, ideal for matching with roasts or steaks. Drink 2018–2025."

"(raised for a year in new and used French oak barrels): Saturated ruby. Aromas of cherry liqueur, blackcurrant and licorice, with a peppery element adding lift. Broad, fleshy and appealingly sweet, offering juicy black and blue fruit and spicecake flavors plus a touch of succulent herbs. Closes smooth and spicy, with good cling and round tannins. - Josh Raynolds"

"Brilliant ruby. Fresh cherry and cassis on the nose, with smoky mineral, oak spice and floral qualities adding complexity. Supple red and dark berry flavors provide very good palate coverage and show an energetic character thanks to juicy acidity. This suave, approachable cabernet finishes with very good thrust and persistent sweetness."

"The smells of blackcurrant and tobacco on the nose with traces of plum and blackberry. The palate is firm and concentrated with terrific richness and depth of pure cabernet fruit. Strikes a great balance of fine grained oak and fine grainy tannin. This is a quality cabernet from an outstanding vintage."
