Reviews and Ratings

From the Mclaren Vale wine region, Maxwell, Silver Hammer 2017 Shiraz is full-bodied and smoky with layers of rich, ripe dark fruit, crushed raspberry, spiced plum, baking spice and toasty oak flavours. Maxwell's Silver Hammer in a velvet glove. Enjoy now and for the next 10 years. Pour with a grilled beef ribeye. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
