June 7, 2019 - Deep ruby red in the glass. Good complexity on the nose - red/black fruit, vanilla, cloves, nutmeg. Hints of bottle age. Well-knit on the palate with a great structure. Could use a bit more acidity to liven up the wine, but even without this, this can age for a few more years.

June 5, 2016 - Worth the price for sure. The name reflects something of the character of this syrah, which has a somewhat woodsy taste that is appealing after you get used to it. An inexpensive well-balanced wine that may age for another year or two but drinks nicely now.

November 4, 2015 - In the glass: dark red and slightly bronze-coloured.
Deep and rich Shiraz. Not fat but spicy, earthy with good tannins that do not cover the fruit body. -

September 4, 2015 - Not sure this lived up to the wine mags 91 + ratings, but it was certainly good. It is not as good as the GSM blend, which is unoaked and cheaper. This wine was certainly elegant and had some depth to it - I would describe it as "luscious", but not as robust as the wine label would indicate, not as robust as many Aussie Barossa's, but I understand 2011 was an off year. We have two 2012's and am looking forward to trying those, but can not recommend the 2011 for the price.
