  Lovely fully bodied, fruit dominant cab. Deep red in color with pungent crushed red berry on the nose. Lovely smooth blend of soft tannins blend well with the darker berry palate. Long acidic finish. Still seems young.

  Nice deep nose, almost Bordeaux like. Earth, oak, and cassis with touch of eucalyptus. Full bodied with bell pepper with cassis and smoke finish. Very good wine which shows what Australia is capable of - bravo!

  Singing right now. Bought this on a whim and it did not disappoint. Powerful nose of dark fruit with cassis and blackberries, some smoke, leather and tar. Medium acidity and tannins that are fully integrated at this point. Good stuff.

  Nose is fresh, lovely dark fruits, graphite. Palate begins same but is riding a wave of massive acidity, alcohol, and oak. I never cough drinking wine but did 2 times on the first glass, which had been opened 30-60 minutes. Put back in cellar and had with steak tips and cream orzo the next night. It was still big and almost harsh. The wine is interesting, has tropical fruit hints and a savory tomato note along with the aforementioned black fruits. Its not bad just needs a ton of air at this point, food, and maybe on a night where you’ve had a manhattan cocktail (or two?) first before trying the wine. Mixed qpr at $60, seems a little heavy handed and not in a forgivable way.

  Extremely concentrated fruit bomb. Deep purple color and very rich nose. Blackberries and cherries dominate and this wine is really too much on the sweet side. Even though I recognize the effort gone through to make this wine I am just not a fan. This is so rich and concentrated and without any finesse. It’s well integrated with the wood and will hold for some time I believe
