"good fruit flavour"
James Halliday, 2010-2011 Wine Companion
Year: 2010
Editorial: "Picked before the heatwave, and has good fruit flavour, and the weight and structure expected of merlot; supple red fruits, and a soft tannin finish. Screwcap." (2008 Vintage)

"a welcome sense of plushness"
Julian Coldrey, Full Pour
Year: 2010
Editorial: "Entry is bright and fresh, with well-judged acidity carrying light plum fruit flavours through to the middle palate. Weight is light to medium bodied, intensity in a similar range, yet the components seem balanced overall. There's an attractive icing-sugar sweetness to the middle palate, adding some nuance to the fruit flavours and contributing a welcome sense of plushness." (2009 Vintage)

90 POINTS
Wine Business Monthly
Year: 2008
Editorial: "In the riper rounder style, this McLaren Vale Merlot shows plenty of fleshy supple fruits and some purple floral perfume, spice and savoury animal complexity. Straightforward medium weight palate, nothing too testing in the tannin department, just easy drinking good times." (2007 Vintage)

Wine of the Week
Paul Ippolito
Year: 2008
Editorial: "Tight and restrained at first, then opening up in layers. Quite an elegant structure to it with pums, prunes, tar, black olives and a delicate spiciness. Fresh and vibrant, young at heart. A medium bodied Merlot with a good liveliness to it and a medium finish. Try it with baked lamb." (2007 Vintage)
