Pungent aromas like gooseberries and asparagus. Sauvignon Blanc characters stand out on the palate - great flavours, tight acid and sweetness.

4 Stars - Winestate Magazine

Attractive style of wine with elegant stone-fruit-like aromas and lovely softness in the mouth, with depth and length of balanced stone-fruit flavours.

Winestate Magazine - 4 Stars

Vibrant, golden wine with estery, tropical aromas and soft, developing palate stacked with rich, sweet melon flavours and balanced by a good level of acidity.

The Advertiser - 91 Points

Here it's fruity and fresh, uncomplicated yet with genuinely vibrant flavour and a tweak of palate sweetness to give it an attractive personality. Very drinkable with a lift in the finish.

"A lovely fronti", said one judge. "Would suit many tastes." Good varietal expression and pleasing acid to sugar balance with some attractive phenolics.

A majority share of grenache (55%) followed by 25% mataro and 20% shiraz from vines which are an average 70-years-old creates a silky rich wine with cherry and spice through it, fresh fruit bite...

The Canberra Times - 4 Stars

There's no mistaking the juicy red berry fruit from the grenache in this Barossa blend. Spice and depth come from the mataro and shiraz but it's the glorious old bush vine grenache that is allowed...

Lester Jesberg - Wine Wise

Fresh, plummy and fruit driven, this wine has a rich, velvety palate and fine, ripe tannins - as Merlot should. A rare good example of this variety. Excellent value.

Made by Barossa winemakers Ed and Michael Schild, this is an excellent Merlot with deep rich and brooding plummy fruit. Aromatically soft black cherries also ensue, along with hints of beetroot,...

Totally full and rich southern Barossa fruit, slightly ripe summery plums with an underlayer of vanillin oak, soft and generous on the palate and plenty of drinking at this price.

An excellent Shiraz, full-bodied and lush. Blackberry fruit dominates the aromas, framed by vanilla and just a touch of dill. Folds in plenty of earthy complexity on the palate, plus hints of cola...

James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2008 92/100

Powerful, dense and concentrated; a no-holds-barred Barossa Shiraz tailored for the palate of Robert Parker and the US; some heat, but certainly masses of flavour.

Old sheds and ripe summer fruits in buckets, leather, oil and plums - all that hot-afternoon, farmyard toil in a bottle with deep and dense, fully concentrated fruit with big oak.
