    March 3, 2021 - Tasty, big hit of small berry fruit. A juicy little wine but not too complex

    April 27, 2019 - Very nice barossa shiraz. It was a solid dinner wine and had a slightly thicker mouthfeel, and strong berry tones. It was well aged although could easily have coped with more cellaring. A really enjoyable wine.

    November 16, 2013 - Dense red colour. Dry Shiraz fruit on the nose. Strong tannin on the palate with a dry finish. A good value wine that represents mclaren vale well. A good wine with a medical donation as a bonus.

    October 20, 2013 - Full-bodied shiraz with well-balanced components of dark berries and chocolate and spices.

    August 10, 2013 - Deep crimson colour. Strong Shiraz fruit on the nose. Big fruit flavour with big dry tannins on the finish. A rich, juicy red that fills the mouth with flavour and texture. A good value and reliable wine from the Vale.
