"Bold, with dark chocolate accents to the plum, black cherry and fig flavors, set on thick, almost chewy tannins. Shows plenty of structure, black tea details and hints of smoke that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 4,000 cases made. –MW"

"Mint, chocolate and cassis play easily on the nose of the 2016 Terra Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of several vineyards, including a bit from Eden Valley, its medium to full-bodied yet shows the variety's hallmark restraint and fine tannins on the finish. - Joe Czerwinski"

"A heady combo of ripe fruit and soapy oak lead the way on the nose of this powerful Cab. Amidst plush blackberry and cassis are notes of mint, olives and slightly charred, mocha barrel characters. Grippy leathery tannins prop up the velvety fruit, balancing this youthful, dense wine. Drink with a decanter and plenty of protein at hand. - CHRISTINA PICKARD"

"Blackberry, licorice and espresso flavors show good intensity and a distinct minty herbal streak. Dense tannins mingle with a juicy element on the finish. Drink now through 2029. 4,000 cases made, 300 cases imported. — MW"

"Brilliant purple. Smoke-tinged black and blue fruits and a hint of licorice on the nose. Round and jammy on the palate, offering plush cherry, cassis and bitter chocolate flavors that are sharpened by a peppery nuance. Echoes the spice and cherry notes on a persistent finish that's framed by smooth, even tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (December 2021), 90 pts
"Black violet color. Aromas and flavors of plum pudding, raspberry jam, cinnamon mocha latte, licorice, dark chocolate, and eucalyptus with a slightly chewy, vibrant, dryish medium-full body and a warming, subtle, medium-long finish that presents shades of key lime pie, candied jalepeno, and orange marmalade. An inky, powerful Barossa Valley Cabernet."

"A simple, ripe and plummy cabernet, this is sleek in texture and lasting in the intensity of its floral fruit. Warm and savory in the end, for flank steak. - Joshua GREENE
