Floral, tarry, delicate candied red fruits as well, great acidity and balance, likely very close to fully mature, but the combination of delicacy and depth is intoxication, great old Spanna!! — a day ago

Clean, crisp, but not much character, honestly, this is just so-so, again, very clean and crisp, but BORING, don’t want to criticize, but wouldn’t buy it again. — 3 days ago

Solid red-fruited Shiraz, the 3% Viognier always provides a nice lift to this blend, this 2020 vintage seems to be drier, a little less fruit-forward, good balance, medium-long finish, I’ve preferred earlier vintages. — 6 days ago

8.4

Rich, ripe, thick, might be too hot (14.5% ABV), I doubt this wine will age well (lacks balance), ultimately maybe lacks the concentration it needs??? — 2 days ago

9.1

Spicy, clean, refreshing, lovely blue fruits, solid acidity, and enough tannic structure to suggest further aging, long, lingering finish, another fine Cliff Edge Shiraz!! — 2 days ago

8.8

Still quite tannic and structured, solid red fruits and good acidity, needs more cellaring but I suspect this will always be a bit unbalanced/disjointed. — 4 days ago
