Critics Ratings
'Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend with Shiraz, 2008 shows fennel, hedgerow fruit, tobacco, the oak a strong presence, giving espresso savouriness. Gorgeous, perfect class and terroir for fine-wine collectors.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
'Dark earth, roasted plum, singed cedar and coffee notes form the frame of this old-school Cabernet-led blend, with bay, tobacco, mulled currant, mint and steeped blackberry fruit at the core. The long finish lets the savoury notes play out beautifully.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (April 2014)
