93 Wine Pilot – “The great Aussie blend done particularly well in this Wrattonbully wine. Exceptional value. 59% Cabernet and 41% Shiraz, the wine spent 34 months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak barrels. While oak is evident, it is certainly not intrusive. Deep blood red in colour, we have soft, deep aromas here, utterly enticing. Blackfruits, liquorice, chocolate, plums, spices and a sweet core of black cherries. Soft, very fine tannins and impressive length. This is absolutely delicious. Enjoy it now but you can cellar with confidence for at least another five years. Love it.” – Ken Garrget October 2022
92 Wine Orbit – “Beautifully fruited and nicely lifted on the nose showing dark berry, smoky bacon, roasted nut and rich floral aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that’s succulent and fleshy. The wine offers generosity together with elegance and structure, finishing silky and delightfully attractive.” – June 2022
