One of the best <$15 bottles we've had - typical Coonawarra Cabernet, but a bit bigger since it's still young. Highly recommended

One of the nicest Shiraz I have found so far Down Under. Great, complex mouth feel, fruity but not overpowering, perhaps even better the 2nd night after it had a chance to open up more. Definitely will be buying more of this one.

Great bottle - lots of big fruit (as noted) but a complexity and depth not found in most high alcohol big-fruit Shiraz. Will definitely be back for more...

Great big Shiraz - mouth filling without being too fruity. Great drinking for as young as it is.

A little red riding hood Cabernet - not too much, not too little, just right. Well formed and great example pf what a well put-together Cabernet can be.

Probably still a bit young, some great light cherry and light fruit tastes, but rather light in complexion in general.

Another winner from Landhaus - looking forward to trying the upper end of the range sometime, but so far both the Saint and the Sinner are excellent blends. (The Sinner is Grenache Mourvedre Shiraz).

Favorite ~$15 bottle of Aussie wine so far. Complex mouth feel, great fruit but not overwhelming, nice earthiness.

Big but not overpowering fruit up front. A little earthiness with scents of vanilla. Good structure but a fruity structure.

Earthiest / most terroir driven Australian wine I've had so far. Taste some game in the initial quaffs, great aroma, nice tannic structure for a young wine. 2nd night more drinkable without food. More subtle / not as in your face with the earth and game. Even nicer the 2nd night.

2nd best Aussie wine so far - 1st night was a not quite as big fruit bomb as sometimes (which was good - did not overpower with the fruit) and opened up the 2nd night with much more earthy tones / tannins and a better mouth feel. Recommended

A bit dusty, a little pepper on the nose, much better with food. A little light plum flavor, not much complexity
