RATINGS

100Robert M. Parker Jr.

Fabulous bouquet, great concentration, as well as remarkable sweetness and length, but manages to avoid being cloying or over the top...Aromas of caramel, toffee, fig, molasses, maple syrup, and oranges macerated in cognac emerge.

96Stephen Tanzer

Nose shows blood orange, toffee, espresso, black cardamom and candied rose petal...

94Wine Spectator

Powerful, spicy and imposing...sassafras, bay leaf and dark cherry flavors that persist through the smoky, caramel-scented finish.

REGION

Australia, Victoria, Rutherglen

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.
