November 3, 2017 - A bit surprised by this, and not at all disappointed. It seems to have entered a new phase. This fruit bomb has finally retreated and has become a very balanced, almost old-world tasting wine. Extremely smooth and easy to drink, alcohol level completely hidden. Full body, aged in color, lovely chocolate, eucalyptus nose. Complex palate, long finish. Wish I had more so I could keep experiencing their evolution. What a fantastic wine this has been.

June 4, 2016 - From our cellar. Still at peak. These are and have always been a pleasure to drink: lush, smooth, and full of flavor. What a wonderful, and continuously delicious tasting journey these have been over the years. I will definitely miss them when they are gone.

September 8, 2015 - You know, when I see four or five reviews rating the same wine, and especially if the ratings vary, I think what the heck is going on, and who are these ill advised consumers. This wine is so special that it merits special attention. I cannot think of a better "go to" wine and I know I've never encountered a finer value. Australian Shiraz all-the-way!

May 23, 2015 - No flaws, still a bright future. A prime example of why Australian Shiraz
rates right up there with any other premium wines. Very enjoyable. -
