Reviews and Ratings

David rated this wine as 89/100
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Jammy dark plum, mocha and hints of spice dominate the aromas, while the palate showcases more of a ripe, off-dry concentrated cooked plum situation. It's not too dissimilar from other Yellow Tail "bold red" labels (not surprising and very much expected). A least you know what you are getting year vintage to vintage. Tasted Jan 2017 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

An approachable Australian Shiraz offering an accessible price point with lots of red fruit. Medium body and medium tannins. Pair with meat lovers pizza or BBQ burgers. A crowd pleaser option for the masses. Tasted Jan 2017. Rated 84/100.
Steph rated this wine as 82/100

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.
