"really fun and drinkable"
Julian Coldrey, Full Pour
Year: 2010
Editorial: "The palate is refreshingly acidic while retaining good body and presence in the mouth. Entry is textural and quite lively, leading to a middle palate that shows a fruit-driven flavour profile. Mixed berries mostly, with a lick of latte and some crushed leaves, all moderate in intensity. There's no shred of the confectionary flavours that can plague lower priced red wines. Oak lifts the after palate to a dry finish that shows some dried fruit characters alongside the structural elements." (2008 Vintage)

"Good value drinking"
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
Year: 2009
Editorial: "Good value drinking. It offers a nice hit of curranty, dusty, mulberried flavour with a minor amount of tannin to keep it neat. Chocolately oak is a minor but attractive player. It's not rocket sugary (my favourite saying for now) but it's a pretty decent red." (2008 Vintage)
