James Suckling: 95 Points
The nose is lifted and perfumed, with fruit-driven aromas of blackcurrants, licorice, sweet spices and cured meat. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with finely integrated tannins, focused acidity and notes of wild blackberries, blood plums, ferric earth, mocha and dried herbs. Wonderfully balanced and structured, with 50% whole-bunch fermentation. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
O: 95 Points
Showing why Shiraz has been such a hit in the relatively cool climes of the Adelaide Hills, this wine has a seductive, alluring aroma of dark cherry and rhubarb with a sprinkle of sage. The palate is medium bodied but immensely flavoursome. The chalky tannin support is important while the oak has been expertly infused. Love this, particularly the dry and balanced mouth feel.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2021 Shiraz is ever the silky, svelte wine, never more than in this elegant, restrained vintage. It has cool, mineral detail overlaid by bright blue fruits and exotic spice. The tannins are very fine and serve to shape the fruit rather than intrude. It is perfumed, supple and seamless. It has by far the best concentration and complexity of all the vintages tasted here today (2015-2021). It has notes of raspberry, mulberry, licorice, beetroot, cranberry and redcurrant as well as white pepper, clove and star anise. Lovely wine here! It has sweet oak and is perfumed and shapely. Good! 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
