Awards:

96 Points, James Halliday - The Wine Companion “The purple-crimson colour is excellent, the wine living up to that promise; the spicy/peppery bouquet leads into a medium to full-bodied palate, black fruits, liquorice and pepper all on display. It is the structure of the tannins that clinch the deal: they are rounded and sewn into the fabric of the wine. This and the Leston are quite different, but of equal quality” 

95 Points, Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front “This is brimful with flavour but it brings a sturdiness to the table. It’s an excellent example of the general superiority of Great Southern shiraz over Margaret Rivers examples. It’s supple with plum and black cherry fruit, boasts characters of black olive, fennel and dark earth, and blinks dried spice, musk and cloves notes throughout. Tannin is a firm garter about it all. A tip-top example of this region-variety combination.' 

95 Points, Huon Hooke “Deep, young red/purple hue; rich, raw blood plum aromas,
fruit-driven and bold. It's very full-bodied, fleshy, rich and fruit-sweet beneath those waves of drying tannins. Very smart wine indeed, in a big, firm, yet elegant style. It needs time and will cellar long-term.”
