Critics Ratings

‘Tasted blind. The palest of these three Syrah/Shirazes in this flight of 2013s. Sweet, spicy with herbal notes. There's a certain softness to this wine and it finishes dry – French? Very long and silky-textured. Intense. Surprisingly forward. 2018-2028’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 18/20 (Nov 2018)

‘Solidly built, with a serious bolt of smoldering charcoal through the core of dark cherry, plum and blackberry preserves. Lots of bay, sage and leather fill in the background, though the dark fruit easily keeps the upper hand. Superior drive and a long sanguine echo define the finish. Best from 2019 through 2034.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Dec 2016)
