94 / 100"59/32/9%, open-fermented, 11-15 days on skins, matured for 12 months in French oak (25% new). The bones of its structure and attitude are more obvious than most plush Langhorne Creek red wines, but if you wonder, as I did, what the result would be, the long, focused finish and aftertaste swept my reservations out the back door."

93 / 100
"Deepish red/purple hue and a herbal, cherry plum aroma, straightforward, clean and fresh. Fruit-driven and very appealing. Blackberry and spices. Intense, concentrated, full-bodied and long, with a degree of elegance. Lovely wine."
- Huon Hooke
