97 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Super rich and lavish, the wine shows dark and purple fruit intensity, clove, star anise, cedar and chocolate tart characters on the nose, followed by a powerfully concentrated palate offering velvety texture backed by layers of silky tannins. Opulent and delectably expressed. At its best: now to 2038."
96 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion
"Super deep crimson in the glass with opulent aromas of blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry fruits cut with hints of clove, cinnamon, blackstrap licorice, blackforest cake, dark chocolate bullets, cedar, vanilla bean, olive tapenade and earth. Full bodied and lush with a curtain of powdery tannin and a beautiful créme-de-cassis-like flow to the fruit. There's lots of latent power and fruit depth on display here but nothing feels heavy or overdone. Drink to: 2048"
96 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot
"Gosh, this is a good wine. You know that from the first aromas of perfumed dark fruits with a light lifted scented African violet and rose petal. On the palate, the plush plummy fruit characters come together with spice and dark chocolate rolling effortlessly off the palate as it gathers momentum to a long finish. Classy wine here."
96 Point Rated - Ken Gargett Wine Pilot
"A superb example of what a stellar vintage 2021 is. Under diam. The colour here is maroon/purple. Everything about this wine just screams big, bold, beautiful and Barossan. The noise is awash in flavours such as chocolate, plums, mocha, licorice and a hint of peppermint. Seductive in the extreme with that typical supple texture, there is juicy acidity and silky tannins. A full flavoured style exhibiting great length. Love it. A fifteen year proposition."
95 Point Rated - Sean Mitchell Grape Observer
"This is an outstanding shiraz from Schild Estate in the Barossa Valley. The vineyard for this wine is located in Rowland Flat, south of Tanunda. Labelled as the “Three Springs”, the wine is a rich and generous shiraz in the traditional Barossa style. The 2021 vintage has brooding aromas of dark plums and mulberries, with some dried herbs tucked underneath. The palate is full bodied, rich, deep and intense. Dark fruit and cedar characters fortify its generous length on the finish. You can drink this wine now. Nonetheless it should improve for another decade and have a drinking window into the 2040s."
95 Point Rated - Mike Bennie WBM
"A little extra bottle age and we have a wine settling into some faint secondary characters, toastiness, dried fruits, choc-biscut and prune. Around this, plush, lush, ripe plum, same raspberry jame notes and a good dose of sweet, woody spice. It flows well and feels pillowy and sumptuous to taste. It has a groove on."

95 Point Rated & 5 Stars Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"A gorgeous rendition of the variety, showing blackcurrant, cedary oak, dried herb and toasted spice aromas, followed by a finely expressed palate that's succulent and supple. Wonderfully framed by layers of chalky tannins, finishing harmonious and persistent. At its best: now to 2036. $130.00."
93 Point Rated - Ken Gargett Wine Pilot
"Ten days on skins here, with time in small French oak barrels, this was harvested from the Henry Albert vineyard in Coonawarra. The colour is an opaque maroon and there is lots to love with the swirling perfumes from the aromas. Chocolate, blackberries and cassis, cigar boxes, mint and licorice make for an attractive lifted nose. The palate is equally compelling – seamless, focused and offering very good length. Sleek tannins and good balance to be found here. This will provide pleasure for a good ten years and more. Expect the score to rise over that period."
92 Point Rated - Shanteh Wale James Halliday Wine Companion
"Blackberries and their thorns, sage leaf and dark cherry skin. Soft licorice, kirsch and espresso. A Fisherman's Friend of spice and menthol. The palate opens with blackberries and turns to a coolness from spearmint and rosemary. Tannins are quite powdery and fine, with galloping acidity that builds. This is full of wild herbs and bramble. Drinking well now and would befit a melt-in-your-mouth tenderloin or wagyu steak."
Cape Barren Rare Bird McLaren Vale Shiraz 2019
97 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"It is immediately provocative with heady fragrance of blackberry, toasted spice, dried flower, mocha and cedar characters on the nose. The palate is concentrated and deeply flavoured with velvety texture combined with seamlessly infused tannins, finishing superbly long and engaging. It’s symphonic and sumptuous with staggering power, while remaining gorgeously balanced and alluring. At its best: now to 2045."

"The elegance and refinement of this excellent McLaren Vale Shiraz conceals its power and driving intensity. Waves of dark fruit cascade with blackberry plum and dark chocolate, livened with a decent sprinkle of spices. Structured and purposeful through to the finish. Date: June 2024"
Magarey Lane Glenroy Coonawarra Shiraz 2016
97 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Immensely complex and fragrant, the bouquet is filled with dark fruit richness, charcuterie, spicy oak and mocha characters, leading to a concentrated palate offering plush mouthfeel backed by bold tannins, finishing lingering and sturdy. At its best: now to 2033."
96 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot
"A marvelous example of Coonawarra Shiraz. It’s powerful yet so beautifully refined. Deeply concentrated spicy dark fruit characters burst from the glass. It is a plush and generously appointed wine of tremendous poise. A mix of French and American oak has been used perfectly, contributing to a wine that retains its life and energy through to that very long finish."

95 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"Delicious wine with lovely ripened black jubey aromas. Nicely balanced savoury palate with exceptional blue fruit depth, texture and tannin weight."
Huon Hooke - The Real Review
"Quite deep, bright red-purple hue with a herbal/vegetal bouquet, perhaps from a whole-bunch ferment component. Raspberry aromas too. The wine is medium bodied and soft on the tongue, with gentle tannins and a medium-length finish."
Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz 2021
94 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson Halliday Wine Companion
"It's spicy and well fruited but mostly it's an exercise in putting all the various components exactly where they should be. Everything here feels exact, and exacting. Red cherried fruit, black pepper notes, integrated cedar oak and drifts of assorted florals, all of which hone to a long, peppery finish. It's mid-weight at most and it's all it needs to be. This is the kind of wine that gives elegance its good name."
94 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot
"Beautiful, perfumed aromas greet from the start, cherry and dark plum with a spicy raspberry nuance. The palate is medium bodied and elegantly presented with those cherries and blackberry flavours emerging with a little sprinkle of pepper and dried herbs. The oak is well-weighted with the fine chalky tannins in support."
93 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front
"Quite the dramatic name, is Cliff Edge. Could also be the name of an Australian private eye, and I’m something of a huge fan of the Cliff Hardy novels by Peter Corris. Anyway, that aside, average age of vines is now 25 years, and it gets 30% new French oak.Black cherry, raspberry, five spice, a little cedar oak. It’s medium to full-bodied, with plenty of cherry and forest berry fruit flavour, a fine dusty/peppery feel to tannin, quite fresh, with maybe something a little more savoury in the aftertaste, like black olive. The length is good also. It’s a good Cliff Edge, and also a rock solid expression of regional Shiraz."
92 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"The 2021 Shiraz Cliff Edge is rocky and purple on the nose with crushed granite, blackberry, white pepper and raspberry compote. Not hugely complex, but it is hugely satisfying. This is a concentrated, cool-climate Shiraz. It's a great (super) value at around $30 AUD. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

"Richly fruited and inviting, the wine shows dark fruit intensity, leather, smoked game, cocoa and toasty oak characters on the nose. The succulent palate delivers excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, splendidly supported by silky texture and beautifully melded tannins, offering terrific drinking.

95 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"An opulent rendition of the variety, showing cassis, tobacco, cumin and cedar characters on the nose, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate offering excellent weight and presence.

Stonehaven Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
97 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion
"Sourced from adjacent rows of 40yo vines using archetypal cabernet vinification. Hand-pruned to control the yield to 5t/ha; cold maceration and pressed directly to oak for 18 months in French hogsheads. This is a seriously good cabernet that has taken full advantage of an excellent vintage courtesy of skilled vinification by winemaker Ben Wurst. Its length is exceptional, as is its structure and slinky tannins, part fruit, part oak."
96 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"This is superbly fruited and complex on the nose, showing crème de cassis, anise, vanillin oak and dark chocolate aromas. The palate offers excellent concentration and plush texture, wonderfully complemented by expansive mouthfeel and finely infused tannins. Long and satisfying with plenty of delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2039."
95 Point Rated - Ken Gargett Wine Pilot
Under diam, this hails from a 40-year-old vineyard in Coonawarra. After an extended maceration, this was pressed directly to French oak hogsheads for 18 months maturation. Inky purple. This is concentrated, plush, focused. The nose offers alluring blackberries, licorice, beef stock, spices, a hint of mint and warm bitumen. Balanced, elegant, intense and very long, with silky tannins. This is one for the long haul. The palate moves to notes of bergamot and mulberries. There is early evidence of the complexity which is surely to come. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years."
Kilikanoon Omen Shiraz 2017
97 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"This is graciously rich and sensually appealing with blackberry, toasted spice, tar, anise and roasted nut aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that's packed with lavish texture and layers of velvety tannins. Engaging and symphonic with a prolonged, gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2040. $150.00. April 2024."
