Dark dense Ruby in colour - impenetrable - almost black. Intense black fruits - black currant with a note of creosote. Rich and sumptuous on the full bodied palate, approaching blockbuster. A style of Shiraz that McLaren Vale does so well. Soft smooth pliant tannins. Great length and persistence. A good cooler weather red. Made by Steve Flamsteed of Giant Steps fame. — a month ago

Lovely wine. Bright red cherries, and a bit of chocolate and spice. Fine tannins. Paired beautifully with salmon. — 3 months ago

When Seven Springs vineyard was split as a result of divorce, one portion was renamed Anden, this wine. Color is still youthful red-purple, with evident oak both aromatically and on the palate (this was a best barrels selection in 2002, I think Mark’s first such Special Selection designation, 73 cases made), black fruits are still quite primary and rich, I’d guess this won’t reach its apogee until 2035 or even later, this is a GREAT Oregon Pinot Noir as long as one has the patience to age it!! — 8 days ago

Some orange/brickish color on the edge, shows dark fruit aromas and flavors, plenty of balancing acidity, just the slightest bit of astringent tannin in the finish, mature but at peak, lovely aged Oregon Pinot Noir, kudos to Mark Vlossak!! — 8 days ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — a month ago

Firstly, it's not a chardonnay, it's a shiraz cienna. At a $20 price point, it's a great buy.
It has a very smooth, almost pinot noir character. It's definitely worth a repeat purchase. — 3 months ago
