REVIEWS
Merlot Reserve 2012 (96pts)
"Bright, clear crimson-purple; the assertion only made in the best vintages' is routinely overused (and hence untrue). Here is an exception, a wine with all the fragrance and finesse merlot should have, the red fruits supported by flawless silky tannins, high-quality French oak in the background."
– James Halliday Wine Companion 2018
Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2012 (94pts)
“Hand-picked from low-yielding estate vines. Bright, full purple-crimson, it is a full-bodied cabernet with layers of cassis fruit, and forceful tannins needing to soften substantially. Rob Diletti is obviously confident they will do so, and he knows better than I do.”
— Halliday Wine Companion 2019 (93pts)
Shiraz Viognier 2017
"While viognier is on the label, it's only about 2%. Excellent dark purple-red; florals and lots of pepper, woodsy spices and char, mingling with some dark fruit but ultimately this is a savoury, dry style. Lots to enjoy with this more medium-bodied wine but the tannins haven't quite smoothed out.”
— 93Pts - Halliday Wine Companion 2020 (95pts)
“Everything about this fresh, medium-bodied red is just right, starting with its bright purple-red hue; the savoury tones in hand with the cassis and more plum nuances of malbec. Delicious drinking now.”
— 95 Pts - Halliday Wine Companion 2020
“It gets the balance between straight-out drinkability and structural sturdiness pretty right. It tastes of boysenberry, blackcurrant, leather, dust and twiggy herbs, the flavours flowing along in juicy style. There's a lightness of touch evident here; it's an easy wine to spend time with.”
— 92 Pts - Halliday Wine Companion 2020
“This is stern and sturdy in part but frisky and succulent in other. It has drinkability written all over it but it’s structurally sound and it has both weight and texture. Currants, boysenberry, leather, dust and twiggy herbs. It’s in a good place all around.”
— 93 Pts - The Wine Front, March 2019
