2020 Vintage. Les bought it for me for Christmas 2024 and that’s when it was tasted like a $35 bottle. — a day ago
Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of blackberry, tar, forest floor and black licorice. Flavors of dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, baking spices and black cherry. Long velvety finish, balanced acidity and smooth tannins. Fruit forward and bombastic, but also nicely textured and somewhat savory. Excellent value. — a month ago
3.3. We don’t usually drink Riesling, but this dry Riesling from Australia was a gift from a friend, and we very much enjoyed it with cheese and crackers before dinner. — a month ago
Given by Akash, smoothest Shiraz we’ve ever had — 5 days ago
So jammy on the nose, fruit bomb for sure. Blueberry, boysenberry, and blackberry bramble. Notes of charred wood and meat. A hint of eucalyptus. Nice spice. Medium acid, high alcohol and medium plus tannin. I think it would do well with a few years and a nice barbecued hunk of meat. — a month ago
A change in style from previous Blackwell’s with little oak showing and trying to produce less oaky SA Shiraz, a much welcomed change, but it still has great fruit and structure, delicious on nose and palate.
Long finish.
Bravo to the winemaker for this new direction for a classic Australian Shiraz — a month ago
This is my go-to wine after work or as a night cap. It is smooth and soft… so easy on the palate. Everyone loves this wine. — 17 days ago

It is full of ripe red plums and polished earthy notes of game and soil. The plate is considerably spicier, with drips of black pepper and drops of olive brine. It is totally tasty and easy to sip (slowly) solo, but it would be even more prime with food. — a month ago
