Ken Gargett - Winepilot

From the Russell Road Vineyard in Frankland River, the wine spent ten months maturing in French oak. This is cracking value. The colour is a vibrant purple. On the nose we have notes of blackcurrants, aniseed, black cherries, smoked meats, graphite, cloves, mushrooms and root vegetables. There are fine sleek tannins lingering at the finish of a wine with excellent length. With a pleasing freshness, this has been well-crafted and is most definitely worthy of attention. For enjoying over the next eight years.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Brightly fruited with elegant complexity, the wine shows blackberry, wild strawberry, olive, clove, and nutmeg aromas on the nose. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours with plump mouthfeel and polished tannins, making it robust and flavoursome.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

A concentrated style that’s purple-red-black in the glass; lots of ripe plums, licorice, wintergreen, squid ink and blackberry essence, a little tarry, too. Full bodied, plentiful tannins and ready now.
