"An
unusually muscular wine of scale and impact given the producer, but one
that’s well worth investigating."

"It’s
bright and fresh with tangy fruit and mildly spicy flavours and a dry
refreshing palate that runs along quite happily."

The 2010/11 Big Red Wine Book says...
“Fresh
and well weighted with good balance and length. This has all the bases
of a fine wine covered. It has lovely oak treatment too – its
flavours already meshing with the grape-derived notes of blackberry,
plum, menthol and fragrant pipe tobacco. It’s medium bodied with
supple fine grained tannins and a kind of drawing-room charm. It
doesn’t quite fill all the corners of the mouth, but given time to
mature, we reckon it will. Lovely.”

"Rich but controlled with some savoury flavours and a general red
fruitedness, firm tannin, freshness and excellent length. Subtle mocha
oak on exit. It all flows along merrily merrily - like a dream.
Brilliant price for a wine of this quality."

"A classy but restrained style of wine...."
"It's medium-bodied with attractive powdery tannins and a touch of meatiness.
Personality plus, in a good way."

"Great to smell, great to drink, great to contemplate what it’s going to
become. It has concentration of mulberried, blackberried flavour but
really that’s not its game. Its ‘thing’ is structure, a minerally strut
of tannin, tobacco-like edges and perfect form in the mouth...The wine
is, simply, excellent."

"This has lots of dry, savoury tannin and a good deal of sour-sweet
cherry-like flavour. There’s spicy, chocolaty, pencilly oak here too and
the more it opens up the more beguiling it becomes. I wasn’t sure of
this at first but after a couple of hours of sipping at it, I was loving
it. It’s going to be an interesting journey to see where this wine goes
as it ages."

"Like having a fresh crisp breakfast juice in a garden full of white
flowers. Nice and dry with clean acidity and a slightly flinty texture.
Fine balance throughout. Finishes long and clean. A lovely stylish
wine."

"Clean, fresh and fragrant with raspberry, plum, chocolate, baking
spices and a touch of gum leaf and pepper...Something of a triumph
considering the vintage too."

"It’s a wine of style, that’s for sure. A wine that trips to its own
beat. It’s all dry chocolate and floral aromatics, matched in the mouth
by a combination of oxidative sweetness and long, dry, ropey tannin, a
combination that works very well. It’s low in alcohol (12.7%) but
totally ripe, its sense of balance and structure judged to a tee. It’s
an interesting drink young, and should be better in three years."

Campbell Mattinson from 'The Wine Front' says...
"What a delicious wine - and more than that, it’s fine and structured
and long too. The tannin management is strikingly good, all textural and
ropey and elongated, and matched to the earthy, dusty, choc-cherried
fruit provides both immediate impact and something to contemplate on.
This is a new-ish Margaret River vineyard that has to have a big future.
There’s quite a bit of acidity and quite a bit of length too, and in all
ways impresses. I’d drink it young, but it will age."
