Grown on 20+ year old vines. Mix of estate vineyards. 20% whole bunches. Firm, spicy style. There’s nothing compromised about this. It's firm and savoury with sour, undergrowthy characters to the fore. Not sweet, not loose, not particularly easy-going. Cloves, pepper, crackles of dried leaf matter. A pervading nutty bitterness. It’s good now but it’ll be better again in a few years. 93+ points Winefront.com.au

This has lots of tannin. It’s 40% whole bunches and it’s all meat and spice, twigs and smoky oak. It’s going to divide opinion again but in an entirely positive way. Nuts, bitter shells and all. Generous velvetiness to the mid palate but it gets grainy, herbal, tannic and all manner of things through the finish. Bitterness has been embraced. Great complexity. Peppery after taste. Texture is a key feature.94+ points Winefront.com.au

57% Grenache, 31% Mataro, 7% Shiraz, 5% Cinsaut and I’m thinking about moons and spoons, in June. Very purple. Blackcurrant jubes, flowers, earth and iron, brown sauce and kind of Indian sweet spiciness. Medium bodied, silky with fine tannin, juicy slurpy fun, yet still a serious wine. Has length and a spicy finish with gentle tannin drawing it out. In a nutshell: rich, sweet and smooth, but balanced.  93 points Winefront.com.au

60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault.  Raspberry, licorice, dark cherry, peanuts and a stony earthy character. Medium bodied, minerally, but lush and silky, fresh clear acidity, so even and balanced that you want to drink another glass straight away. Suggest not cellaring it for any length of time. Live in the now, here.  92 points Winefront.com.au

Vivid crimson-purple; the expressive bouquet tells of the concentrated blackberry fruit of the medium to full-bodied palate, with layered foresty black fruits, bitter chocolate and quality oak; has prodigious length and aftertaste. 325 dozen made. 97 points James Halliday

This release hits the groove and rolls with it from start to finish. Cloves, plums, blackberry and chocolate. You know the drill, and know if it’s your cuppa. Tannin rumbles through the finish. Length is good. This is a very good (indeed, excellent) release of this popular label. 93 points Winefront.com.au

Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Three trophies, four gold medals; truly astonishing. Classic nashi pear fruit, nutty complexity and perfectly balanced acidity. The value is blindingly obvious. 12.5% alc; screwcap

Deep purple-crimson, it is sourced from two estate blocks and one local grower .... the best selected for this wine. 14% alc; screwcap 95 points James Halliday Weekend Australian
.....This wine needs a huge sleep in a dark place to build on that already noticable complexity, to soften out and round off those tannins, and to let that coiled up power and intensity, uncoil. Seriously, the BEST Australian Malbec wine I have ever tried, and a cellar special ... a special wine this one. - Gavin Trott

Gold medals at Perth, Adelaide and Hobart in ’13, and Sydney this year, underline the quality of the wine. An extraordinary shiraz with untold layers of inky black fruits kept in an envelope of 14% alcohol; the way it continues to express itself well into the aftertaste is mind-blowing. 14% alc; screwcap

It’s ripe and licoricey but it has nutty, herbal notes too and quite a deal of them. Smoky oak plays a role, but it’s easy to miss. It’s clean, juicy and well-fruited, but it has a sinewy aspect. It’s medium-bodied with fine-grained, fruit-filled tannin. It benefits from being given time to breathe in the glass.
In all, it’s a top Turkey Flat release. 94 points Winefront.com.au
