What a great low cost wine. Well structured with layers of fruit, tannin and spice all in balance. It proves itself once again and no doubt will continue to. Love it.

Plum candy, blackberry jam, black pepper, and mint. Quite glycerin like on the palate (but in a good way). Classic stewed dark fruit notes but enough acidity to keep it lively. Tannins are soft and smooth. Those mint and chocolate notes show up as well to keep things interesting.

Big, ripe wine but still well made and tasty.

Cool label. Dark. Smells like licorice extract but faintly. Flavors are typical Oz style wine. Big, fresh and fleshy. Dense. Extra. Molasses extra. With the fruit too. But more of a cooked berries and black cherries type of fruit. It’s got a bit of character.

Very good Shiraz Cab mix. For the price, it’s a plus plus.

Just opened the ‘08 & had massive, rich chocolate notes w/ plenty of cherry fruit left.. Unexpected treat.

I underrated Langhorne Creek wines for decades, but not any more. This is a superb red. And there are many other winners coming out of neighbouring wineries.
