RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

Heady aromas of raspberry tea and plum preserve are followed swiftly by cedar, clove and sweet but subtle mocha oak. The palate displays elegance, finesse and a sense of place. The juicy blueberry and plum fruit is wound in beautifully textured spicy tannins.

94James Suckling

There’s a bold, juicy and foresty feel to this Bordeaux-inspired blend that has a wealth of summer-berry, bracken and leafy aromas. The palate is fresh, juicy and elegantly structured with good richness and freshness of blueberries and cassis.

93Vinous / IWC

Intense red and dark berry, licorice, pipe tobacco and potpourri aromas are lifted by a smoky mineral nuance. Sappy, coiled black currant and bitter cherry flavors deepen and become sweeter with air. Smoothly blends power and finesse and finishes impressively long and spicy, displaying sharp focus and even tannins.

91Wine Spectator

Eucalyptus, tobacco, black tea and cedar notes are dark and concentrated, with black licorice, spiced plum and dark chocolate notes that sing in harmony on the finish. Tannins are plush and velvety.

REGION

Australia, Victoria, Yarra Valley

Victoria is one of Australia’s smallest and coolest wine regions, yet one of the nation’s most dynamic and quality-oriented. Unlike many of Australia’s wine regions, which include many large, industrial producers, most Victoria producers are small, independently owned and crush fewer than 25 tons of grapes per year. With more than 600 wineries, Victoria has more producers than any other state, though it ranks third in production. Winemaking started in Victoria in the 1850s when Swiss immigrant Hubert de Castella recognized the area’s winemaking potential. There are many climates and topographies in Victoria, from dry, irrigated inland terroirs to cooler, higher regions. Top sub-appellations include Heathcote, Rutherglen and the Yarra Valley. Shiraz and Chardonnay are the principal grapes grown, though Viognier, Pinot Noir and Tannant are also grown. Of special note is the region’s history with sweet dessert wines made of Muscat. Some are called “Tokay” and are made from the Muscadelle grape. Red dessert, Madeira-style wines are also produced.
