Reviews and Ratings

Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Balance, integration and accuracy is what this Shiraz is all about. So many things are going on in a beautiful harmony here that you don't need to look for the description of the so-many flavors and undertones that this wine offers. Just close your eyes and enjoy the taste and its completeness - Shiraz at its best. Decant for an hour.

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.
