90 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion
"It doesn't offer complexity but it does offer value and immediate appeal. Stone fruit, preserved lemon, quite zesty and spicy yet tight and lean across the palate with oak bolstering the finish and adding flavour."
Nick Butler The Real Review
"Hazelnuts and nougat lead a soft and savoury, mineral-driven nose. Oak is very quiet. There are just-ripe stone fruits on the palate, nectarines and peaches tightened and tamed by grapefruit acidity. It’s built for purpose. A terrific value proposition."
