Lots of zip. Floral, lemon peel, just a hint of petrol. Could age for a long time. 12.5% and bone dry. Really great. — 11 years ago

Pretty medium garnet color, vibrant acidity and bright fresh berry character. No jamminess or white pepper here, just delicious fruit and 12.5% abv. Seductive in its appeal. Well judged oak that never intrudes on the fruit. Dekicious and a benchmark in cool climate shiraz — 9 years ago

Mike Smith is a genius. Bold black and blue flavors. Laser focused. Hedonistic. 2010 vintage — 10 years ago
