Deen Vat Series Press Reviews

Deen Vat 1 Petite Sirah

Deen Vat 1 Petite Sirah 2007

87 points
“The 2007 Petite Sirah Vat 1 is opaque purple-colored with a bouquet of violets, plums and blueberry. Structured and dense on the palate, it will evolve for 2-3 years but can be enjoyed now.”
Dr Jay Miller, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (USA), 11 September 2008


Deen Vat 1 Petite Sirah 2006


87 Points
"Firm texture, but light and agile behind tannins, offering blueberry and cherry flavors that linger nicely.  Drink now through 2012."
Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, 30 April 2008

Deen Vat 2 Sauvignon Blanc

Deen Vat 2 Sauvignon Blanc 2005

"Is a generously fruity dry white with the hallmark grassy-asparagus flavours of the sauvignon grape."
Ned Halley, Western Daily Press, UK, 28 January 2006

Deen Vat 4 Petit Verdot

Deen Vat 4 Petit Verdot 2005

87 points
"The label continues to speak volumes about what else is possible in Australia. Look for a fresh, floral palate with spicy red fruit flavours spiked with blueberry notes..."
Anthony Gismondi, Wine Access Magazine (Canada), December 2007/January 2008

Deen Vat 7 Chardonnay

Deen Vat 7 Chardonnay 2004

"A lovely well-balanced Chardonnay at a fantastic price. This wine is a million miles away from the flabby, over-oaked horrors that Australia has produced in the past. Essentially a barrel fermented Chardonnay with a short period of lees ageing to add a creamy complexity."
Oddbins Promotional Catalogue, UK, May 2006

Deen Vat 8 Shiraz

Deen Vat 8 Shiraz 2004

Australian Wines To Inspire
"Arguably the greatest bargain on the market, rich and generous."
James Halliday, Decanter, UK, March 2006
