  • 2012 Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 94 Points

    A nice smoky nose cutting through blue fruit, violets and some classic Greenock Creek oak treatment. The palette is bright and vibrant with a lively and chewy acidity and some smooth, silky tannins.

  • 2012 Greenock Creek Shiraz Apricot Block 93 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

    This is a well made wine, although not quite to my taste, with an earthy almost compost nose coupes with black fruits and lifted spices. The palette is textural, with fine tannins, chocolate and a very fresh mid-palette.

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

  • 2009 Greenock Creek Shiraz Roennfeldt Road 96 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

    This blockbuster had been open for a good day or so when we tasted it. The nose is tar, bitumen, liquorice and blackberry with distinctive American oak. The palette is meaty and chewy, but still with a silky texture that seem to intensify the black fruits. The tannins come on at the finish and go for quite a while.
