Really great. Love that it’s southern Rhone style with quite a few obscure varieties.

Very nice blue & purple fruits with just right amount of spice & pepper to pair with BBQ Ribs!

Torbreck’s entire line up top to bottom is rock solid.

It wasn’t the game outcome we were looking for but, congratulations to Andy Reid & the Kansas City Chiefs.

Not the full throttle Big Barossa. Lighter style of fruit and tannins with lighter spices. Drinks nicely. Especially, at the price point.

Great initial taste and smell but gets even better as it opens up.

Well balanced, voluptuous and fruit driven, but also surprisingly refined on the finish. This producer has changed direction.
