REVIEWS:
It's rare to see such modest shiraz from Clare Valley; even and balanced at medium weight with soft, satiny tannin profile, gentle influence of sweet-creamy oak and general litheness to personality. Raspberry, white strawberry, a touch of ginger biscuit and cardamom with sage leaf, salt bush and green olive elements threaded through. It's a beautiful and subtle rendering of the variety from the region, with vitality and poise as calling cards.

95 Points. Mike Bennie, Wine Companion.
