95 Points - Campbell Mattinson
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.
"95 Points. It brings on the silk and also the refinement. This is neat, crisp and flavoursome at once. Roasted plum and redcurrants, a lick of boysenberry and then a spread of earth and woodsy spice notes. Nothing over the top here; it feels immaculate. Time will bring greater complexity. Drink: 2025 - 2040. 14.5% alc. $60. Screwcap."- Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion.
