90 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion
"From old floodplain vineyards, this 70/23% cabernet/merlot blend also has a 7% dash of malbec for true regional inclusivity. Cabernet aromas of blackcurrant crank up this everyday red, which also reveals notes of tobacco and olive leaf before settling in with its blending partners' dark plum and spiced middle palate. Easy drinking, medium bodied, yet full of good flavour. Top value."
Huon Hooke
"Bright, fresh, youthful red/purple colour, with a briary and blackcurrant-scented nose, the palate medium to full-bodied and slightly harshly-textured, with notable acidity and raspy tannins. Overall, a young and slightly callow cabernet with attractive fruit, which offers good value at the price."
