  February 16, 2023 - Red berries, rose hips and herbs and spices in the bouquet. On the palate juicy and friendly red berries, herbs and medium but fresh acidity, same goes for the tannin. Raspberries, cherries and some slightly green impressions and drying in the finish.

  October 22, 2022 - Aussie Tasting (Minneapolis, MN): For less than the D Block wines this is far superior. Cooler climate Shiraz with floral, white pepper, minerals and earth. Medium finish and balance wine.
