Reviews
95 points - Ned Goodwin, 2021 Wine Companion
"Yarra meets a peripheral northern Rhone pocket. Think Crozes. Perhaps Saint Joseph. Far from prosaic, this is a delicious rendition of pulp, perfume, and all that syrah/shiraz can deliver when in the right hands and in the right possie. Think violet, blueberry, nori, tapenade, a whiff of meat, and a skein of peppery acidity for length, freshness, and a big grin. Drink in large drafts. No point in ageing. Reduction massaged into pleasure."
93 points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
"A significant step up in quality on recent releases of this label. We're in business here. Ripe cherry-plum flavours meet sweet cedarwood, five-spice, pepper, and smoked meats. It's both hearty and refreshing, in its own way. It's a lovely wine."
