"Smooth, polished and open-textured, with plum and blackberry flavors that show a violet note, lingering easily."

"Deep crimson, purple hue; a bright and fragrant wine, showing blackberry, licorice, toasty oak and violets on the bouquet; the medium-bodied palate is lively and super fresh, accessible and thoroughly engaging, offering very good value in every respect."
James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion, 94 pts

"It’s a mouth-revving Riesling with a bite that sings with mountain-stream purity. Its flavors dart all over, quartz-like acidity coming right at you, bold and unapologetic. You may see notes of lemon sorbet, bath salts and white lilies layered with spices from your favorite childhood pie shop…guess that depends on your childhood. But you can’t deny its raciness and versatility, sidling up suggestively to food that’s both sweet and spicy."

"Smooth, velvety and appealing for its juicy blackberry and cherry flavors, zinging through the lively, wet earth-tinged finish."

"This Shiraz bangs out spice and dark berry - performing like a world tour and taking center stage. The band recommends enjoying Back in Black Shiraz with the music loud and just like an ACDC concert, it's perfect now but could also be re-lived over the next few years."
