Dan Carkner reviewed this wine as follows:

A rare treat for some or an everyday wine for friends I wish I had, this top notch cabernet sauvignon-shiraz blend has a bouquet that reveals itself slowly and something new is found each time you visit the glass. Stewed plum, perfumed cherry, smoked red pepper, high cocoa chocolate, licorice, cigar box, and new leather define the nose that requires adjectives to accompany each element detected.
The fruit on the palate shows a dried character as well as fresh berries and macerated cherry. Oak influences such as cigar box, leather and vanilla are some but not all of the intrigue when tasting this wine.
Big, smooth, and sexy, this wine features silky tannins, a medium full body, and medium high acidity to match.
The Black Label finishes long with dark berries, tart cherry, cigar box, leather and cocoa.
A wine to be savoured and one that will surely spur conversation, be sure not to invite too many to share it. You'll want plenty to go around.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

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.
