Critics Ratings

'Pillars Shiraz' previously. Following showstopper 2007, equally brilliant 2008 opens to explosive aromas of blackberry, liquorice & floral essences. Complex & restrained, excellent concentration of berry flavours on well-developed tannin frame. Natural fermentation, malolactic fermentation in oak, 60% new barrels.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 5*

'Very rich with a hint of smoked fish(!). Lovely texture and not even a hint of burnt rubber. No heat. Attractive blend of dust and bitter chocolate powder. Very well made. Though it comes in a naughty heavy bottle.' - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Dec 2011)
