August 19, 2017 - Served with brined/grilled pork chops, quinoa salad, greens. Lovely aromatic nose, and delicious palate. Concur especially with stvjackson, firefly notes from 4 year ago. Floral, vibrant, alive with red fruit, spice, herbs, definitely get the hints of orange peel others mention. Seems a bit more integrated and less 'zippy' acidity than earlier comments, but still very fresh--tasty and intriguing, excellent with food. Impact is all about nose and flavor, with moderate to light body, more cleansing than layered. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

May 3, 2016 - Definitely one of the better Aussie wines I have had. The notes has lots of red berry fruits, floral notes, anise, and hints of spice. The palate is much fresher and more balanced than I am used to and this makes the wine much more food friendly and tasty. Overall quite enjoyable.
