• 93 Points - Huon Hooke - Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine, August-September 2008. 'A crisp, tautly scructured, youthful Coonawarra cab with crushed-leaf, red-berry and gun smoke aromas.  It has strong varietal character and great elegance, finishing with fine tannins.  A very well polished cabernet'.
•  4.5 Starts - Winestate Magazine, November 2008. Very refined and elegant style of cabernet, with minty cedary aromas followed by quite a sweet palate with tarry complexity and some obvious mint flavours. Creamy finish. $27
