Vibrant purple in colour, this is a medium to full bodied Hunter Valley shiraz. Black cherry, raspberry and fresh spicy flavours with fresh acidity make this wine a wonderful example of the modern, balanced style of Hunter Valley shiraz.
A youthful, medium-term shiraz likely to develop some appealing gamey complexity. It's musky, spicy and peppery, with meaty aromas of cassis, raspberries and redcurrants beneath fresh rose petal notes. Smooth and elegant, it's medium to full-bodied, with a lingering presence of bright cherry/plum fruit finishing with fresh acids and a fine, supple texture.Rating: 92 Jeremy Oliver
Bright crimson; a deceptive wine that doesn't appear to have the depth to develop over time into a very complex, strongly regional shiraz with great length to the palate; the black cherry and plum fruit is the foundation on which these changes will occur. 96 points James Halliday
Dark fruit, pepper, a touch of vanilla oak and a boysenberry-like juiciness. Medium bodied, amply fruited with good acidity and dry gently grippy tannin -pumps out a good volume of flavour for its size. Enjoy that classic earthy bituminous finish. Cellaring is a certainty.
