Dark red with blackish purple core. Big abundant nose of leathery black plum. Aussie smooth, full palate yields all of that leather surrounding baked black plum, blackberry compote, and molasses. The molasses sensation is tempered by medium tannins that assert from mid palate and medium lowish acidity. Classic Aussie Syrah with a bit more structure than the old school style. Pepper and coffee crusted beef roast or any other rubbed cut will pair nicely. Drink now through 2026 — a year ago

Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of green apple and citrus rind. Medium palate echoes the nose bolstered by firm acidity and adding layers of dried fruit, cement, and white pepper. Remarkably long finish continues the palate. Wonderful example of the citrusy Aussie style of Riesling. Excellent with any "white wine" fare, but pork or seafood dishes are particularly good. Drink now through 2036. — a year ago

Pale to mid crimson. Palate showing sweet cherry and plum fruit with spicy oak. Delicious now with short term cellaring potential. Proving once again how suitable Adelaide Hills is for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. (Also does great cool climate Syrah. ) — 8 years ago
