Louise Wilson rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Rich peppery blackberry and freshly picked cherry flavours packed into a full bodied, fruit driven red. Structured but approachable tannin is balanced by fresh acidity and warm alcohol. Ready to drink but has the concentration to hold for 4-5 years. Perfect alongside a juicy bacon cheeseburger. Tasted March 2014.

Natalie's Review

Heartland Stickleback Red Ben Glaetzer 2010, South Australia, Australia: Incredible price for this quality. Loaded with big black fruit and lots of mouth-watering acidity. Great wine for big meals, especially those involving Winemaker Ben Glaetzer also makes the Mitolo wines in McLaren Vale and the Heartland wines in the Langhorne Creek region. Stickleback is the Heartland winery’s entry-level red wine. It’s mostly made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz gapes with a dash of Dolcetto and Lagrein grapes. Drink: 2013-2016. 116574 14.50% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 89/100. February 1, 2014 Best Value Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
