93 Points – Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
If you’re drinking this, you’re drinking well. It has the spiced cherry-and-mint profile so typical of the region down pat; it rips black pepper notes out of juicy, jubey fruit; it’s etched with fine-grained tannin, and every step of the way, it feels balanced and sure.
Youthful and dark red in the glass. Lifted and heady aromas of Asian spice, white pepper, blueberry, sarsaparilla, boysenberry and ferrous earth. There’s lovely purity and drive, with a core of blue fruits, spice and firm, layered tannins. A lovely example of cooler climate shiraz. Pure and poised.
92 points – Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
Despite some challenges in the second half of vintage, the wine has turned out mighty well. It’s medium-bodied and elegantly structured with a lively mix of blackberry and spicy dark plum. On the palate, you find rich dark plum characters and a light touch of chocolate. The slightly chalky tannins and well-managed oak provide the framework to support further cellaring.
