Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This wine is simply effortless. It’s core of bramble fruit and ripe fruit plum give way to mint, dried flowers and a hit of hung meat. Gorgeous and not overdone. 92 Points.

Ghislain Lalonde rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This peppery shiraz offers an expressive aromatic component due to its higher altitude fruit offering plenty of cool green herbal notes. Sweet violet, cassis and white pepper make this a ringer for a northern Rhône style. Mid-weight, fresh and zesty with a pleasant dynamic tension on the palate. Excellent value. Tasted February 2019.

Natalie's Review

Sidewood Shiraz 2015, Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Australia: Loving this fresh blackberry and minty nose on this Sidewood 2015 cool-climate Shiraz. On the palate, juicy dark cherry, red plum, anise and cake spice flavours with velvety tannins. The Shiraz was fermented in stainless steel tank with 25% being whole bunch fermented. The wine was matured in 30% new French oak barrels. Fantastic pairing with grilled meats. Enjoy now and for the next 10 years. Drink: 2019-2024. 446146 14% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 90/100.
