DogRidge MVP Shiraz 2005
Retains good colour hue and depth; a powerful testament to the region, redolent of dark chocolate and black fruits; the palate has excellent texture, structure and length, fruit characters winning the day on the finish and aftertaste.
Red Hill Estate Shiraz 2008
Bright crimson; the enticing bouquet does not disappoint on the palate; a lovely example of medium-bodied cool grown shiraz with a panoply of red and black cherry fruit, spice and silky tannins.
95 points
Irvine The Baroness 2008
Excellent crimson colour; a fragrant, indeed perfumed, bouquet with red fruits and violets leading into a lively, juicy palate awash with cassis and red fruits which carry through to the finish and aftertaste.
Red Hill Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2007
Bright straw; still very tightly focused and youthful, the intensity and purity of the fruit excellent, doubtless partly reflecting the alcohol; grapefruit, melon and nectarine to the fore.
