Reviews and Ratings

Brad rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

A deep, dark colored wine with a nose of leather, bold fruit and some citrus notes. Loads of fruit upfront with cherry, spice, mint and a smooth velvety feel. A very nice cab. We had this wine with top sirloin roast & garlic mashed potatoes
Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

I got this wine as a delayed birthday present and what a treat that was. This medium bodied Cab is integrated with pronounced aromas of black currant and cedar and subtle notes of strawberry and vanilla. Tannins are dusty and refined to tannic (decant for about an hour) and the finish is smooth and long. It’s good to drink now, but if you wait for couple of years, you will be nicely rewarded. Expected aging potential is up to 2016 to 2018. I must note that it has been a while since I had Australian red with a traditional cork. This wine reminds me of Cipressi Macchiarossa 2005, though a bit younger. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 91 pts - a recommended buy. Tasted Aug/10.
A totally convincing mix of elegance and intensity to a medium-bodied wine with great length and perfect balance; gently savoury overtones to the black fruits add to both flavour and texture ... Drink [until] 2016. Score: 95 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
