2018 Thorn-Clarke William Randell Shiraz - 90 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 90 pts

"This is a winter-warming crowd pleaser for the big red lovers in your life. It offers upfront aromas of plums, blackberry and blueberry with undercurrents of baking spice, ground pepper, vanilla bean and chocolate. There's a sweet oak bass note. The mouthfeel is juicy fruited and silky textured with a lift of acidity and a tug of supple, savory tannins. Drink now with protein or until 2030. - CHRISTINA PICKARD"

The palate has a very vivid feel with such intense, fleshy fruit-presence that carries a long, succulent and flavorful finish. Impressively fresh. Drink over the next decade."

2019 Thorn-Clarke William Randell Shiraz - 92 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"This impressive and manicured 2019 Shiraz William Randell has class written all over it. Ripe and concentrated with black cherry, dark earthy tones and ham bone aromas wrapped up in a generous dose of sweet oak. Luscious levels of flavor and oak follow with well-judged tannins providing a complete package to enjoy over the next decade.-  Angus Hughson"
