Ripe, juicy berry and spice flavours from a winemaker who knows what he is doing. A classic Barossa shiraz with many years of good drinking. — 5 years ago

High intensity aromas of black fruits - blackberries, black currants, blueberries. Dark and milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee and sage. Palate matches the nose but interestingly, not as intense as you would expect from the bouquet. — a year ago

Dark fruit with caramel and baking spices. The spice note predominates on the finish. — 3 years ago
Columbia county 2.0: end of a meal, nightcap of sorts. So so perfumed with dill & vanilla & tree sap, as if Willy Wonka decided to get into winemaking. Really just lived for a while breathing this in. On palate it’s remarkably agile & light, even though the body of red fruits is firmly medium boned. No signs of decay or slowing down- even the cork was perfect-easily can go on another several decades ( it feels). God what a treat. — 3 years ago
