Pinnacle Shiraz 2021 Barossa Valley
95/100 Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
Mighty expressive wine from this outstanding Barossa vintage. The colour is deep crimson and red with a luminosity that points to a wine of energy and vibrancy. The nose and then the palate confirm the initial impression. Bright red fruits with a deeper dark plummy blackberry mix, spruced with spices and dried herbs. A seamless and balanced palate delivers through to a very long finish. Poised and polished example of the Barossa in a very good year. Cellar 18 years

Full Stop Shiraz 2021 Barossa Valley
91/100 Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
Big, soft, round and flavoursome. Little needs to be said about a wine that is designed to get stuck into as a youngster. Deep chocolatey plummy fruit characters explode from the start before building through the supple and seamlessly structured palate. The fine chalky acids and light tannin complete the picture of a wine designed to drink now. Cellar 5 years.
