Description
"Several parcels of shiraz from Glenrowan, Rutherglen and King Valley; three different vintages, partly fermented before fortification with brandy spirit, matured in seasoned oak a couple of years before bottling. A little charmer of a young, fruit-forward ruby fortified intended for immediate enjoyment. It brings all the black and red fruits and spice you like to see wrapped in firm tannins, bright acidity and clean, neutral spirit. Warm and comfy. Now, where's the cheese? 90 points".
Halliday Wine Companion, Jeni Port www.winecompanion.com.au
"Bright ruby red colour. Bitter cherry and cola aromas. Sweet red berry and cherry fruits with a touch of green herbs flowing across the palate. Sweet and slightly cloying at the medium finish, but alcohol warmth brings a sense of freshness, 86 points".
