"From a single vineyard in the Hilltops region of NSW, this is a cracking example of how well tempranillo can do in this country. Seven months maturation in stainless steel, this is made in a fresh, joyful style which the Spanish might call Joven. Delicious drinking. A gleaming maroon purple, there are notes of black cherries, blackberries, delicatessen meats, chocolate and dried herbs weaving through the nose. A wine with some refinement, as well as some hedonistic pleasure to it, it is taut, bright and with sleek tannins and good length. The palate gives us more notes of licorice and vegemite. Should continue to drink well for a decade, though there seems no real reason not to enjoy it much sooner. Like this a lot."

"Splendidly ripe and inviting, the bouquet presents dark plum, blueberry, mixed spice, and vanilla notes on the nose, followed by a beautifully weighted palate that offers supple texture and grainy tannins, finishing sturdy and persistent. At its best: now to 2034."
93 Points Sam Kim

"This is a young vibrant and bright red, with an amazing scent yet with surprising body, length and depth too. Certainly one of the better temp's on the go. Delightful."
93 Points Max Crus

"This is a medium -weight wine of character and interest. It’s driven by cherry-plum fruit flavours but roasted nut, violet, cola and sweet spice notes are key influences, in the best of ways. This is a dry red, well structured, with a prettiness to its fruit and indeed to its overall profile. It’s an easy wine to recommend"
