The single acre of nebbiolo is grown in a cool, protected southerly pocket on the corner of shale at the southern end off the property. This soil holds more water than the granite, allowing the typically large canopy to maintain its integrity throughout the summer, usually without supplementary irrigation. Tiny yields of three or four bunches per vine develop the intensity of fruit required to make nebbiolo with beautiful structure, and a deep complex core of ripe fruit.

."Calm, fluid, gentle cool acidity, fine chalky texture, red fruits and blood orange, slight earthiness, perhaps a few fennel fronds and flowers. Red cherry and almond creaminess pops through on a very long finish. It's as ever, a beautiful wine of harmony and supreme drinking pleasure.
Touch and go for 95 points. Regardless, I'll be buying some." 94 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

"95 Points. It’s back, last seen in the 2013 vintage. Rich and ripe, blackberry and blackcurrant of sweetness and intensity, mint chocolate, wheat, a little truffle and spice. Medium-bodied, dense and packed with thick ripe tannin, ripe raspberry and more savoury black olive and sundried tomato flavours. Finish is matted with ripe tannin and carries long. FD fans will be most pleased. Tasted: Jul19 Alcohol: 14.5% Price: $48 Closure: Screwcap Drink: 2020 - 2030+" - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.

Best drinking: Now to fifteen years easy. 18.7/20, 95/100. 14.5%, $48. Would I buy it? Yes. Worth every cent. Mount Edelstone quality for a quarter of the price.

This wine comes in at under $20 if you shop around. That’s incredible value. Dom Torzi sets a modest price, but is invariably confident about the quality of his wines. Bright blueberry and blackberry, plenty of pepper and spice, potpourri perfume. It’s medium bodied, sleek and dark cherry juicy, super fine tannin, some meaty and nutty flavours, gentle stony tannin pulling along the finish.

A wine that takes no prisoners at any stage along the way from the bouquet to the unrelenting power of the back-palate, finish and aftertaste. Citrus of all kinds, and apples, led by Granny Smith, meet the depth of the acidity, and stare it down with ease. Great now, great later.

I’ve always had a lot of time for the Soul Growers reds, with the laid-back richness of the style always deeply satisfying. Interestingly, it’s an oak-rich-yet-not-oaky style that I traditionally associate with Rockford, and there is definite parallels here.

No changes with this ’15 Provident either. Sure, it’s young, but the deep, choc berry richness here is a winner. Undoubtedly oak plays a big part in that all-encompassing thickness, yet it never feels overdone. In fact, this isn’t a heavy wine at all. It’s just hearty, and chocolatey and enveloping in its textural weight in a savoury, dry and thick-set form, complete with large grain tannins, a little cosseting warmth with plenty of acidity on the finish.

Pretty much everything you’d want in a $28 Barossa Shiraz, really, with that texture the winner. Very good. Best drinking: 2016-2030. 18/20, 93/100. 14.5%, $28.
Would I buy it? Sure would.

Calm and pale, but delivers pretty much just the right amount of flavour without becoming to shouty, and I like that in a rosé. Red cherry, fresh picked strawberry, almond, maybe some fennel fronds, and flowers. Delicacy and charm, a soft milky texture with balanced crisp acidity, powdery texture coming through on a long and clean finish. Just lovely.

he NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Cuis 1er Cru is terrific. Bright and nervy, as these wines are, the Cuvée Cuis also has a good bit of depth to round out the contours. Lemon peel, almond and dried flowers all add nuance throughout. This is an especially open-knit edition of the Cuvée Cuis, which is just fine, as this wine can be a bit angular upon release. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Rating: 90 Points; Antonio Galloni; Vinous

Light to medium depth crimson with purple hues. Lifted black cherry, raspberry and rose blossom fills the nostrils with hints of sweet spice and white pepper. Sweet, juicy fruit flows over the palate which is light to medium bodied. The red berries are balanced nicely with brambly and peppered spice and soft yet drying tannins which continue through the long and fruitful finish.
