Subtle flavours of gooseberry, lemongrass and grapefruit .... complexity of barrel fermentation and lees contact ....
Ray Jordan, Wine Writer, 2010 WA Wine Guide: "A bracing slightly austere style of sauvignon blanc that I like for its structure and finesse. Has a creamy nutty nuance on the nose which carries through to the tightly packed palate. Some tropical fruit character works into the palate which has good sustained length thanks to the zippy acidity. On the nose, a little grassy herbaceous lift provides further interest. 89/100"
A rich and intense wine with licorice, blueberries, chocolate and spice.
James Halliday, Wine Companion 2010: "very well balanced and composed, with black cherry and blackberry fruit supported by fine tannins and good oak. 93/100"
Ray Jordan, Wine Writer: "Bursting with vibrant savoury spicy Margaret River shiraz"
Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh, The Big Red Wine Book: "It has a mix of cool climate spicy, peppery notes and ripe warm curranty oomph just about perfect"
