RATINGS

97+ The Wine Advocate

...opens with a bang, delivering intense fruits of the forest and blackberry preserve notes with hints of sandalwood, cardamom, dried Provence herbs, Indian spices and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and oh, so satisfying.

95Vinous / IWC

... Powerful, mineral-accented blackberry, boysenberry and floral oil aromas are complemented by hints of cola, licorice and woodsmoke. Sweet and impressively concentrated, offering intense dark berry, cherry liqueur, spicecake and violet pastille flavors sharpened by a jolt of zesty minerality. Rich yet energetic as well, finishing with superb clarity and dusty tannins that build steadily and smoothly.

94Wine Spectator

Dark and dense, offering a toothsome mix of black licorice, loam, wild blackberry and black tea notes. The details start coming in on the finish, adding complexity and some momentum, with cigar box, Szechuan peppercorn and Turkish coffee elements lingering.

94James Suckling

This shows lots of grilled meat, spice, hints flower petal and bark. Full body, velvety and rich. A very pretty and delicious 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.
