"94 Points. This is a lovely wine, true to its grape and true to its region. It's peppery and smoky and twiggy and savoury, but it's bursting with blueberry and cherry-plum fruit too, and it keeps going all the way through to a sustained finish. Cedarwood oak has been expertly applied here - not too much, just enough. Some warmth to the finish is the only minor distraction. Otherwise, this wine is full of peppery, smoky, berried goodness. $28. 14.5% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2032."- Campbell Mattinson, winecompanion.com.au.
