Winery Review
Professional Reviews

A great example of Barossan shiraz. Rich and ripe blackberry fruit partner with well integrated charry oak in the background. A luscious mouthfeel with some earthy tobacco and licorice nuances. Finishes long. Has developed beautifully and is drinking well for a six year old wine.

Wine Advocate The gorgeous 2002 Shiraz was aged in 85% French and 15% American oak. Loads of blackberry fruit are found in this opulent, full-bodied, pure, heady Shiraz. This offering will not be particularly long-lived, but it possesses a pure flavor, good texture, and offers a considerable value. ..... read more

International Wine Cellar Full medium ruby. Superripe aromas of currant, blackberry, smoke and truffle. Very sweet, ripe and gamey, just this side of cloying. Notes of nutmeg, smoke and tobacco leaf. At once creamy-sweet and lightly vegetal. Finishes with sweet, smooth tannins. ..... read more
