"Look for crushed limes, Thai spice, floral notes and a hint of rose petal. A tightly packed, lime juice and mineral driven style with just enough slippery texture to show its premium status. Minerality drives the wine and it finishes ultra tangy and fresh. Serve with Pad Thai, chicken and cashew nut stir fry and anything with a hint of chilli."

"The 2010 Thomas Hyland Shiraz displays a deep garnet-purple color and aromas of ripe blackberry and cherry preserves plus hints of bacon, pepper, tree bark and cedar. Concentrated and taut on the medium-bodied palate, it has crisp acidity and a medium level of grainy tannins, finishing long."

"Bright violet color. Powerfully scented with blackberry and blueberry, with a more serious licorice character coming up in the glass. Flavors of dark berries, bitter cherry and mocha show both depth and verve, sweetened by a touch of vanilla. Gains firmness with air and finishes with good clarity and length. Definitely shows the polish I've come to expect from a Ben Riggs wine."

"Bright ruby. Deeply pitched aromas of cherry compote, cassis and smoky herbs. Supple and expansive, with intense dark fruit flavors that show appealing sweetness and an open-knit character. Dusty tannins add grip to a long, spicy and sharply focused finish. I like this wine's interplay of opulence and precision."

"Smoky dark berries and herbs on the perfumed nose, with a subtle licorice quality adding interest. Fresh and lively, offering good depth to its juicy blackberry and cherry flavors. Gains weight and spiciness on the finish, which delivers impressive thrust and snap."

"Smooth and velvety, this red is generous with its blackberry and tar flavors, hinting at smoke as the finish lingers enticingly."
