WINERY RATING

James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2016

McLaren Vale. South Australia.  Single vineyard, whole berry, small batch open ferment. Matured in 10% new and 2-3 year old French oak. The king of the Vale. A medium to full bodied Shiraz, bridging old style charm and power with new style freshness and structure...

Adelaide Hills, South Australia. This outstanding vintage of Shiraz displays lifted fruit flavours of raspberry, blackcurrant and plum on the nose. The palate intensifies with enhancing flavours of dark plum, blackberry and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg derived from oak maturation. A medium to full bodied wine with firm, silky rich tannins that finishes with a long and luxurious length. An outstanding accompaniment to beef with black bean sauce or truffle pasta as a vegetarian option...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Garnet in colour this modern Barossa wine bounces out of the glass with ripe blueberry and red licorice aromas. The palate is fresh, juicy and alive with dark berried fruits, finishing with a textured savoury edge. Delicious drinking now but will mature well for the medium term...

Eden Valley, South Australia.  Deep garnet in colour with a complex red-cherry and blackcurrant aroma, underpinned by elements of dried spice and bay-leaf. This wine will cellar well for many years to come...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. This is a lovely fresh bright Shiraz, true to region and variety. There are bright red and some dark fruits on the nose, a hint of chocolate and a mere whiff of oak. The tannins in the mouth are smooth and overall the wine is fresh, juicy and quite delicious. Try it with a Tuscan pepper stew or Peposo and if you have enough Scarlet Runner, you could use it to make the dish, too!...
