93pts; “Attractive fruit richness upfront, it's beautifully fragrant on the nose with black/blueberry, toasty oak, mixed spice and vanilla characters, leading to a generously expressed palate that's filled with succulent fruit intensity together with silky texture and well-pitched tannins. Comforting and delicious.” - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

92pts; “Opaque core with a deep ruby rim. Mulberry, dried herbs and crushed violets on the nose. Rich fruit on entry with a plushness to it that immediately appeals. Hints of dried herbs sit through the middle and add interest and then it flows quite long and enough tannins to dry the finish. Very good value here.” - Stuart Knox, The Real Review

93pts; “Crimson. Boiled lollies raspberry - raspberry licorice. Musk notes. Red lolly and red fruits on palate, but not sweet.  Pretty wine.” - 2024 Boutique Wine Awards

96pts “The fruit for the Estate Shiraz comes from their Gomersal Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. 12 days fermenting on skins and then a year and a half maturing in new French oak hogsheads. Barrel selection led to 705 six-packs.  Again, cracking value and a real step up. A superb vintage which now has a few years under its belt, all adding to the complexity. Opaque magenta. The nose gives black fruits, mocha, dry herbs, chocolate, espresso and cassis. A little sweet oak is evident as well. This is beautifully structured, very long and with silky cashmere tannins. There is focus, weight, balance and length here. Utterly delicious. Enjoy over the next eight to twelve years.” – Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot

95pts “This is gracefully opulent and sumptuous, showing dark fruit richness, vanillin oak, smoky bacon and dark chocolate notes on the nose. The powerfully expressed palate has layers of silky texture and complex flavours, leading to a immensely appealing, velvety finish.” – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

93 pts “Deep and dense purple colour. Rich aromas of berry preserve and mocha. A huge wine filled with densely packed blue and black fruits, dark chocolate, and dark and sweet oak-driven spices. Tannins are gravelly and ripe, big but in context with the fruit weight. Goes on and on to a dry finish. Needs time and will reward many years of cellaring.” – Stuart Knox, The Real Review

94pts; “Gorgeously ripe and perfumed on the nose showing dark and purple fruit intensity, cedary oak, cocoa and warm spice aromas. The palate delivers excellent concentration and density, wonderfully complemented by fleshy texture and finely woven tannins. Powerful yet stylish with wonderful balance and structure.” - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

”Shiraz sourced from low-yielding vines with an average age of 20 years, aged in a combination of new and old American oak for 22 months. Bright dark plum and blackberry fruits, baking spice, licorice, dark chocolate and a whiff of mint. Smooth fruit entry with some red-fruit high tones and a shock of sappy oak that gradually retires back into the fruit.” - Dave Brookes,Halliday Wine Companion
