97 / 100"Deep garnet-purple color and a 100% Shiraz wine aged in predominately older oak, the 2010 The Factor reveals a stunningly beautiful nose of creme de cassis, plum pudding and blackberry coulis with intriguing flourishes of licorice, dark chocolate, cloves and peppered salami. Big and voluptuously fruited in the full-bodied mouth, this is a full-on, complex Shiraz possessing a great foundation of firm, rounded tannins and an energized acid backbone to bring everything to a finish with outstanding length and harmony. Approachable now, it should drink best 2016 to 2028+. 97 pts, The Wine Advocate"

Tasting Notes
97 points on the Wine Advocate
Small parcels of fruit from old dry grown vines are selected for their individual qualities
and matured separately in both new and old French barriques. The wine was assembled
in June 2012 and bottled without filtration or fining in August the same year.
