"With 2018 a strong vintage down under, this wine wears it well. Plush yet high-toned currant and plum-fruit characteristics are followed by a sanguine note—like iodine—along with cedar, mint, pencil lead and a seaweed, umami-like nuance. The mouthfeel is distinctive: tannins like sandpaper but the fruit silky and tangy. There's power here but drinkability too. Cellar for several years for added complexity or crack open now with a roast lamb or similarly comforting cold-weather cuisine."
Christina Pickard, The Wine Enthusiast 94/100

"The 2018 Shiraz is complex and Bordeaux-like in style. It is supple in texture, full bodied, intensely flavoured, medium rich, and very long on the palate, with well integrated fruit and oak components. It tastes of blackberry, black olive, toast, tobacco, vanilla, loganberry, and red licorice. Delicious wine, in a somewhat understated style. Warrants aging. Aged 18 months in American oak barrels."
Ronn Weigand, Restaurant Wine 5/5 Stars
