Reviews and Ratings

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Very enticing aromas of black fruit, cassis, eucalyptus, and cedar swirl together into a lasting peppery black raspberry finish.
Lovely with barbecued portobello burgers.
Tasted Sept 2018.
Colin McKone - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Purple in colour and it is teaming with aromas of blackberry, plum, ink, cooked raspberry, cassis and vanilla. It is full bodied with medium acidity and tannins. On the palate you get flavours of cooked dark fruit and spice. This will go great at your next BBQ. Tasted on September 16, 2018.
Julian Park rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A smooth fruit forward wine with aromas of black cherry and flavours of cherry, vanilla and black currant.

Fruit forward, approachable, dry. Pair with braised beef tacos. Mocha, ripe strawberry, vanilla bean. Tasted 2014 vintage in Sept 2018. 90 points
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely, ripe and full of flavour. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, currant, smoke and a hint of warm spice. Full bodied, smooth on the palate, with bright, balancing acidity, and lots of ripe berry on the palate, and a bit of smoke and leather on the finish. Enjoy with prime rib or other slow braised meats.
