A deep purple, vibrant with red hues and a purple rim expressing aromas of plush fruits, cream, strawberries, raspberries, with some hints of spice and star anise. The oak is integrated nicely. A palate of pepper, spice, fresh juicy red and purple fruits, tight structure and good length. Good weight on the mid palate.
A dark red core with maroon hues and silver rim proferring aromas of spice, rhubarb, tobacco, red berry fruits and thyme. A light and bouncy palate with fresh, soft red fruits. Pinot like mouthfeel with cherry and raspberry, nice acid lines and fine tannins on the finish.
An opaque crimson with red-brick hues. The nose proffer aromas of lifted red fruits with a hint of sweet spice and cherry pastilles. The palate is rich and densely flavored with bright expressive red fruit notes and wisps of toasted vanilla. Fine tannins give way to a persistent, moreish finish. Well balanced, juicy style of Shiraz. Best matched with roasted longhorn sirloin with potato dauphinois and steamed greens.

A bright, full-bodied sparkling Shiraz with a lively aroma of fresh plums and dark cherries with underlying floral and violet notes. A generous palate filled with vibrant blackberry and plum fruit flavours. A seductive sweetness is complimented by soft tannins, with just a hint of Cherry Ripe chocolate to balance it out.
A medium-ruby with a purple rim with a lifted and perfumed aroma busting with fresh dark cherries, coffee-oak, violets and a subtle lick of spice. A full-flavored and elegant palate showing delicate cool-climate elements of violet and spice with mulberry, milk chocolate and a hint of liquorice.

A vibrant rich red with aromas of ripe mulberry, ground nutmeg, milk chocolate and a hint of aniseed. A palate of generous bright flavours of Morello cherry, hazelnut, raspberry and darker berry fruits. A beautifully balanced wine with strength, fruit depth and elegance.
A deep inky red with purple flecks and aromas of dark plum, spicy mulberry and rich chocolate cake. A generous and ripe palate of cherry fruits with reminders of toasted oak in the background. Primary fruit and oak characters are balanced neatly with natural acidity.
The Real Review, September 2018 - 90 Points by Toni Paterson MW
A deep ruby with a purple rim and a vibrant aroma of red cherry with hints of mocha and cedar. A palate of well-balanced primary fruit notes to natural acidity and soft tannins. The dark berry fruits occupy most of the taste buds but there is an underlying smoothness from the time spent in oak with subtle notes of vanilla.
