Very deep and very bright purple-red colour; intense and fresh blackberry and cassis aromas, the palate is full-bodied and richly concentrated, with length and power. A very full-bodied, concentrated shiraz with big structure and big flavour. It's all in balance and promises much if cellared a few years. Excellent value. Points: 92/100
From a single site in Port Wilunga, this is relatively forward-fruited and generous, though not punching too much above mid-weight. Vanilla, milk chocolate and cedar notes box in the plum, boysenberry and blueberry fruit. A little kelp, anise and white pepper freshen. Slightly grainy tannins are a bit of a straitjacket at present, but time will resolve that, and it delivers for both style and value.

This is a beautiful medium bodied Shiraz displaying defining varietal characters. It’s bright and alive with vibrant red cherry and dark chocolate with a lift of thyme and light black pepper. A lift of blackberry and a hint of licorice add further to a well weighted and presented Shiraz. Points: 92/100
