All Grenache (no Shiraz). And delicious. Really finds the sweet spot between ponderous, massive global-warming CDP and those people trying to do light picnic Grenache that should be chilled like fruit punch. Nose has kirsch and raspberry ooze, along with dank minerality. Nice flavor intensity in the mouth, but with little flab. Rich fruit quickly turns savory. Nice length and the balance between acids and tannins is well-struck. Should have gotten more. — 2 years ago

A perfect balance between oak and fruit (blackberry) from this Barossa Shiraz. Great winemaking from John Duval who has quite the CV. John was Chief Winemaker at Penfolds from 1986 until 2002 being only the 3rd custodian of Penfolds Grange after Max Schubert (creator of Grange) and Don Ditter. In 2020 this wine received Shiraz of the Year and 99 points from the James Halliday Wine Companion. The product of old vines in the Barossa. Luscious but in balance and overall - delicious. — 8 months ago
Smells like lime, gentle cream, and chalk - almost like a mild cheese. Tastes good - green apple, lime, slight chalkiness. Crisp. No off flavors. Fine deal for the $10 I paid (marked down from $20). I could really see this with goat cheese. — 5 years ago
A perfect and very special Thanksgiving dinner accompaniment. Crisp, strawberry notes, nice and dry. Delicious! — 6 years ago
Lots of green apple on the palate with a bit of mineral (limestone). February 2026. — 4 months ago

🎅 Santa says “I was going to make a joke about this wine but I got a slap from Mrs Claus 👋”
📝 I say if you like dessert wines this is a fabulous nicely balanced drop for the money I’d sure have again with rich cheeses 😍

Rich and full bodied. I decanted it for 4 hours and it was a lot better than the last bottle. Amazing structure after 16 years. Would get more in the future. Nutty and spicy. — 4 months ago
