Pretty Good
"This light-to-medium bodied blend has red berry flavours, is well balanced with lively acidity and drinks easily."

Peter Forrestal, Quaff 2010, October 2009

"There are lots of ripe, sweet blackberry and plum fruit characters on the nose and palate. This red is soft and easy to drink but there's a hint of spiciness too. Serve it with snags.

Sally Gudgeon, The Sun Herald, July 2006

One of the Best Cask Reds Over $15
"Good deep colour, cherry and plum with spiced savoury touches, nicely balanced and good tannic grip on the finish."

Graeme Phillips, Hobart Mercury, July 2006

"Stewed plum and vanilla aromas with a funky, meaty edge. The palate shows overripe black fruit characters with a hint of Christmas cake and firm, astringent tannins on the finish."

"An attractive blackberry and cherry bouquet and lovely long, soft fruit flavours with an earthy/spicy touch."

, Winestate, Feature Tasting - Cask Wines, April 2005

"Love the sweet, ripe plump fruit in here. It shows a lingering intensity and flavour profile. Pretty darned good for a cask."

Ray Jordan, Crackers in a box, West Australian, December 2004

"Cherry/berry bouquet with a touch of chocolate on the nose. Dark berry and cherry fruit flavours with a soft balanced palate."
