Reviews and Ratings

Jane rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Dark ripe fruit on the nose - ripe raspberries, blackberries and slight hint of smoke. Initially taste was weak but after 30 mins. of decanting round bright dark fruit flavours and more distinctive smoke. Smooth supple long finish. Great compliment to rare prime rib roast.

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Fresh blackberry and black cherry, violet, savoury herbs, and mint chocolate on the nose. Big and intense wine, typical Aussie fruit, big tannins and body. Rich and full. Balanced oak notes match the power of the dark fruit. Cooling mint in the finish. A small portion of Petit Verdot goes a long way with contributions of acidity and aromatics. Fire up the grill and get some nice char on a cut of beef.

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Dark ruby coloured. Spicy nose with a hint of mint. Lots of fruit on the mid palate with a silky and smooth mouth feel. Big wine with high alcohol. Try it with spicy pasta, spicy pizza, burgers or sausage. Tasted April 2019.

Colab And Bloom 2016 is a full-bodied Shiraz from the Barossa wine region. Great value as well under $10. Produced by Loonie Wine, this is a very satisfying Shiraz with dark berry, mint, wild herb, dark chocolate and cake spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are silky. So lovely now and for the next five years. - Community Wine Reviews
