Baked strawberry and great acidity — 10 years ago
Just over ice with a twist of lemon or orange. Pretty citrus and spice notes. Too bad there was so little made. Makes me wish I had a bigger bottle! — 10 years ago
Lots of tiny bubbles with a thick head. Good aroma of cloves, banana and spice. Smooth, balanced mouthfeel with light malt and a bit of hops. The barrel aging brings the flavors together nicely! — 10 years ago
Cedar, cassis, blueberry, heavy berries. More than an everyday red — 11 years ago
Drier and more robust than this winery's Batteau Red but just as good with smoke and warm fruit flavors that linger. #vawine — 11 years ago
Great Pinot Noir. It's right at its peak, but still tasty. — 12 years ago
Not quite as smooth as the 09 vintage, but very very good. Softened with air and will get even better with some time in the cellar. — 9 years ago
Aromas of pear. Both crisp and rich on the palate. Get some green apple on the back end. — 10 years ago
Smoky/spicy nose. Just enough acidity to cut back the fruit. One of my favourite pinots so far. — 10 years ago
Nice cherry bouquet. Very balanced and pleasant. Hold its taste for the whole barbecue dinner. Great value! 2010 — 10 years ago
Light strawberry, creamy yeast. Just a touch of pink. Solid sparkler — 11 years ago

Great Shiraz from Barossa with great ageing potential. Big core and good tannins, with a floral, spicy, and botanical nose. The pallet exhibits dark vibrant raspberries, black pepper, bay leaf, burnt espresso bean, and silver dollar eucalyptus toward the lingering finish. I still find the RWT to be more my style, in comparison to this beimg more lean in structure and spicy in character. It was a bit less extracted which for some is preferable, but every so often I enjoy more of a rich extracted style of wine. Overall, great effort and I would like to see this one in a few more years.
Cheers!

Lovely fruits to start and beautiful tannic and raspberry finish. — 11 years ago
I'm quite satisfied with this wine. The smooth combination of fresh fruit flavorers, enhanced by seasoned plums and a hint of passion fruit, help to create a wine that can be enjoyed at many different types of social gatherings. All in all I am suitably impressed with this Shiraz. — 11 years ago
