About this Item
Critics Ratings
‘393 refers to the altitude of the vineyard on Dave Trafford’s property. This single parcel makes a rich, blockbuster wine that’s picked late and sees 40% new oak. Compact, dusty tannins and considerable concentration underpin dark plum, damson and blackberry flavours. Drink 2017-25.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 94/100
‘Unfined/filtered, as all reds, 2013 similar deep & broad vein as 2012 (93 pts), 2011; layered & refined, it has violet & pepper nuances, satisfying now but crafted to improve decade or more.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5*
‘Solidly built, with lots of dark plum, fig and blackberry compote flavors forming the core, enlivened by a streak of licorice snap and backed by sweet toasted vanilla accents and brambly grip on the finish. Densely packed but shows ample energy. Will cellar nicely.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Oct 2018)
