Critics Ratings
Despite vintage challenges, 2013 approaches the quality of 2012 (5 stars, 97 pts). Ticks all fine syrah/shiraz boxes; lithe, precise and detailed, accessible early courtesy only old oak maturation. Grapes largely from neighbouring Keermont.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
‘What Dave Trafford calls “an unofficial single vineyard wine” this comes from a 1.3-hectare block at Keermont. Rich, perfumed and dark-fruited, this shows the acidity of a cooler vintage, understated oak and a hint of cumin spice from 5% whole bunches. Drink: 2016-23.’ - Tim Atkin, SA Special Report 2016, 93/100
