91 Points - James Suckling

Distinctly cool climate shiraz, albeit, of a particular, nostalgic Australian idiom. This is nothing like its northern Rhone sibling as with many a contemporary Aussie shiraz, but a less floral exultation of blueberry, tea tree, mint and peppercorn, with a distinct curb of vanillin oak and finely wrought grape tannins. An elegant, savory and eminently drinkable expression, making the most of a terroir more inclined toward better iterations of claret.
