Pure essence-y, concentrated and deep: strawberries – fruit and pips – plus toffee. There’s brick dust and older oak Stilton-like smells too. Fabulous. And the palate is fabulous too, but more specifically it is super-deep fruited, intense, slippery textured. 96/100, 10/10. Tim White. Australian Financial Review

Irresistible - with an impressively long palate McLaren Vale Grenache can make terrific wine, and arguably more often and better than the Barossa Valley does. Here’s a fine example that comes off sixty something year old vines. Spice, with cinnamon foremost, high perfume, red licorice and red fruit tempered by savoury earthen elements. Medium weight with lovely texture – a sweep of fine grained tannin and fresh, unforced acidity – all even and perfectly pitched with an impressively long palate. Cranberry freshness and a sort of almond flavour add further appeal. Likely to improve and gain complexity with any number of years on it, if you can wait. Irresistible.
