Mymi Thesingingsommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The belief behind this award winning winery is cultivating the best locations and allocating varietals in their proper soils to obtain the best fruit possible. After all, top wines can only come from perfect grapes!
St.Laurent is a native Austrian red varietal named after St. Lawrence Day which falls on August 10th, the day when the grapes are said to begin changing colors.
The fruit for this wine comes from Niederosterreich (or lower Austria), the country’s largest quality wine-growing area.
Deep purply red in color and very aromatic on the nose with flower blossoms, ripe juicy rhubarb, marzipan and raspberry preserves.
Meaty, juicy, robust and dry on the palate with well integrated tannins. Sour cherries, plums and dried mint flavours wrap up in a “wish-it-lingered-on-longer” smoky finish.
Great intriguing alternative to the entry-level “jammy” Shiraz!
