  • 2010 Fox Creek Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 90 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

    A nose like a berry tart that is verbena tinged with spices and a core of stewed plums. The palette is berry up front with a spicy mid palette that is earthy yet fresh and a finish with buckets-o-tannins.

  • 2010 Fox Creek Duet 90 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

    There is some nice eucalyptus from the cabernet with ripe berry from the other grapes. The berry continues through the palette with grippy tannins and a spicy finish.

  • 2010 Fox Creek JSM 92 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

    This wine is quite delicate and has a soft perfume to the nose balanced with black fruits that are subtle and precise. There is a nice chocolate and blackberry balance to the palette with good acidity and structural tannins.

  • 2010 Fox Creek Shiraz Short Row 93 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

    This is definitely the best wine that I tasted at Fox Creek mostly due to the great balance of oak and the very deep, dark tobacco notes that are not typical of the region. There is some blackberry and touch of Ribena and these are all in balance. The palette is very soft with nice currants and a blackberry finish.

  • 2010 Fox Creek Old Vine Shiraz 92 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

    Quite closed and young, the nose hints at dark berry, but is also quite earthy at the moment with undergrowth and compost. The palette is blackcurrant fruit with soft earthy tannins. It is a very big wine and will need some cellaring.
