  Inky ruby. Boysenberry, cedar, and spice nose. Full bodied, black cherries, dry tannins, some heat, pepper, blackberries, good acid and a long tangy finish. Maybe a little less fruit, but still going strong.

  When I opened the bottle and took the first taste I thought perhaps my prior comments were not warranted and I had experienced a poor bottle. There were no flaws the wine was well preserved. As the bottle developed it receded to repeat the prior experience and my previous comments still stand. It’s unfortunate.

  This '13 Cherry Ridge remains as dramatic as the day it was bottled. It looks like it has improved with age. Beautiful fruit, and many years ahead of it yet. Now suggesting 2030.

  Typical Dutton goldfield. Delicious. Well structured and plenty of fruit. Will last a good while longer.

  Some redeeming characteristics with a decent nose and colour. The customary Syrah aroma and fruit is evident at first taste and fills the tongue fulfilling an initial expectation. However, the fleeting balance quickly subsides to fruit and sweetness and a surprising lack of depth and length. Overall disappointing for a Syrah. Drinkable but certainly not a clone of true world class Syrah.
