Reviews and Ratings

Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Great value for this very attractive and correctly made Shiraz. Matured in large oak barrels, it has a lovely plum and mulberry note with pepper and spice on the finish. Over delivers at its price point. Try with a classically made lasagne. @wrightwineblog
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely, with aromas of black plum, blueberry, and mocha with hints of mint and leather. Full bodied and smooth on the palate, with luscious, ripe and rounded fruit, medium acidity and a dry, herbaceous finish. Enjoy with a grilled steak.
Best's Bin No. 1 2016 Shiraz is a robust red from the Great Western, Victoria wine region. Look for ripe blackberry, black plum, Bing cherry, mint, savoury herb and anise and pepper spice flavours generous and smooth on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews
