90 points in 2018 Halliday Wine Companion. A medium to full bodied, richly flavoured, fleshy wine. Good depth of dark fruits mingle with vanilla and spices from oak barrels. A top drop now that will continue to age gracefully through the 2020s

Huon Hooke 92 points Silver Ribbon "Extraordinary value at the price". Full bodied, with good depth of mouth-filling, dark berry flavour. Plenty of soft tannin. Beautifully balanced and finishing with very good length.

From the southern Rhone Valley, this wine was sourced from Cairanne. Under stricter requirements this wine was made as Côtes du Rhône - Cairanne Villages AOC. In Feb 2016, the Cairanne Villages AOC appellation was awarded Cru status, joining well-known names such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Crozes-Hermitage.

Managed meticulously by the BackVintage team through every stage from grape selection to bottling. 24 months maturation in 37% new French oak. Full bodied McLaren Vale classic velvety style, with great depth of dark berry flavours and a hint of chocolate. Bottled last November - absolutely ready to drink now and through to 2028!

92 points Halliday 2019 Companion. Made from grapes of several vineyards in the central Yarra Valley, this wine has a rich, plump palate with generous flavours of red and dark cherry, combined with spices from subtle French oak. It finishes with balanced, firm tannins. Ready to drink now and will gain complexity past 2020.

Says Huon Hooke: "Good balance, length and drinkability, with some potential to age. Great value for money. 89 points". Rich, dark blackberry and blackcurrant fruit on the nose, the aromas lifted by a hint of mint leaf. The palate showing typical Coonawarra elegance, yet there’s excellent depth and balanced, firm tannins
