96 Points - Jeni Port
Whistling Eagle has established itself as one of the stars of Victoria's Heathcote wine region, with their wines in high demand both in Australia and in major international markets.
Representing their flagship wine, The Eagles Blood Shiraz is the ultimate expression of Heathcote's ancient Cambrian soils to wine that displays spectacular colour, depth of flavour and balance. Made with a minimal approach using traditional methods and aged in French oak, this is always a stunning reflection of the terroir and the careful balance between viticulture and the environment.
"96 Points. One sniff and you are standing on the mineral-rich soils of Heathcote, surrounded by the warm, inviting scents of the local bush. This is an evocative wine, of the place, of the dirt, capturing both the natural generosity of Heathcote shiraz and its environment beautifully, artfully. Earth, bush mint, undergrowth, acacia, briar, cassis, black cherry, anise and red licorice join forces with well-mannered oak to seduce. Seduction complete. Drink: 2024 - 2038. Screwcap. 14.5% alc. $60"- Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion.
