Rich bright berry fruits with signature pepper and spice notes, the latter typical of cool climate Shiraz, combine with a savoury finish of depth and complexity. Fine tannins with a subtle use of French oak. An Adelaide Hills Shiraz of elegance and style.

Plenty of blackberries, cloves, slate, and ash character. It’s medium-bodied with a pretty depth of fruit and length. The tannins are polished and very long. Chewy but checked. Solid energy here. 94 points. jamessuckling.com

Cool climate scents of violet, anise, pepper grind .... meandering across the finish. This continues Lobethal Road's dialogue of poised, mid-weighted wines, reflecting their origins in a fresh, drinkable manner. 90 points. Halliday Wine Companion 2019
