Jon Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A wonderful Shiraz from the heart of the Barossa valley. This signature varietal 2013 vintage expresses typicity. The label "Futures" carries a story worthy of being told about how Peter Lehmann started the business with borrowed grapes under a promise to pay the growers when the wine would sell. It sold and the growers were paid, resulting in a word is bond understanding with loyalty at it's foundation and what is said to be a commitment by local growers to producing the best grapes possible. This vintage shows deep purple and 14.5% ABV. Inky, densely concentrated and intense, this wine is rich with blackberry, blackcurrant, spice and full-bodied with high tannins. A great wine for braised or BBQ red meats. @jonsteeves rated 89/100 - tasted May 2016

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.
