RATINGS

93Wine Enthusiast

...tang of cherries, currants and plums reveal themselves, with more delicate floral notes and a prominent line of earthy, savory, spicy, characters, like a damp forest on a cool morning...well-placed tannins weave through the plush fruit and earthy spice lingers on the finish.

92James Suckling

...charcuterie and swirling spices dressing ripe plums and blackberries...17% grenache and 10% mataro add treble and bass to a substantially fleshy mid-section that is packed with ripe-blackberry flavors.

91The Wine Advocate

...aromas of boysenberries and blueberries. plus hints of dried spices...fruit flavors coming through loud and clear on the medium to full-bodied palate. It's supple and easy to drink, with a hint of stone fruit on the long and softly dusty finish.

90Wine Spectator

Detailed, with fresh black currant and blackberry flavors that are accented with sage, matcha, orange zest and a touch of apricot, all on a supple frame showing plenty of elegance and freshness.

16.5Jancis Robinson

So thick and rich! Tarry nose. Beautiful lifted fragrance too. There’s a definite charred edge on the nose. Strange combination of super-ripe fruit and touches of bitterness too. Milk chocolate and coffee on the finish.

REGION

Australia, South Australia, Barossa Valley

South Australia is the nation’s most important wine region. South Australia is to Australia what California is to the U.S. About half of Australia’s wine comes from South Australia and many of the country’s most acclaimed producers are there. Wineries based in South Australia include Penfolds Grange, Torbreck, Amon Ra, Henschke and Jacob’s Creek. The prestigious Barossa Valley is located in South Australia, and is often compared to Napa Valley because it is gorgeous topography covered in grape vines. First farmed by 19th century German-speakers who immigrated from what is now Poland, the Barossa Valley is the crown jewel of the region. South Australia has widely varying climates, from very hot, dry areas to cooler, high altitude areas. There are more than 150,000 acres of vineyards in South Australia, with more being planted each month. Shiraz is king, though the region also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvedre, Chardonnay and Semillon.
