KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"Wonderfully ripe and fragrant, the inviting bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blueberry compote, warm spice and cedar characters. The palate offers terrific fruit intensity combined with fleshy texture and polished tannins, making it delectable and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027. AU$23.00."

"The wine is named for local outcrops of 350 million-year-old pink-red granite. An exceptional value, rhubarb and plum is spicy and generously spreads across the palate. Blackberry preserves and licorice meet with white pepper and a stoniness that combines on the finish with dark chocolate cedar."

"Opaque ruby. Spice-accented blackberry and cherry on the fragrant, oaktinged nose. Pliant dark fruit flavors show very good clarity and appealing sweetness, and a snap of juicy acidity adds back-end lift. Finishes on a clinging blueberry note, displaying strong persistence and round, even tannins. - Josh Raynolds"

"Coming from the Padthaway region of Australia, the2019 Shiraz is a juicy, lively red revealing pretty red and blue fruits as well as a kiss of eucalyptus, pepper, and spice. Medium-bodied, balanced, and nicely textured on the palate, it's beautifully done and about as gulpable as they come. I don't expect it to make old bones, but it would make one heck of a delicious house red to drink over the coming couple of years."

- Jeb Dunnuck (March 2021), 89 pts

"Black violet color. Aromas and flavors of roasted berries, carob, earth, juniper, and eucalyptus with a velvety, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, elegant, medium-long finish with suggestions of vanilla gelato, rosehips, raspberry coulis, and roasted nuts. A delicious and satisfying Shiraz that will enhance grilled meats"

"Substantial amount of blackberried flavour, served warm and soft, and yet balance seems too to have been a key consideration. This is well turned out. Gum leaf and toasty oak characters round out a high value, and highly drinkable, offering. - James Halliday"

"Plump, round and appealing, the 2016 Shiraz offers loads of boysenberry and mint. It's full-bodied and supple, offering plenty of early-drinking pleasure. There's no guarantee it will be long-lived, but it's delicious now. - Joe Czerwinski"

"Deep ruby. Ripe dark berry and cherry compote aromas convey a vaguely jammy aspect and notes of woodsmoke and candied licorice. Round and expansive on the palate, offering plump blackberry and plum flavors that are sweetened by suggestions of vanilla and mocha. Betrays no tannins on the finish, which lingers with good breadth and persistence and an echo of blackberry preserves. - Josh Raynolds"

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Shiraz gives pronounced notes of warm blackcurrant, crushed blueberries and black pepper with hints of tar, mocha and loam. Medium to full bodied, it fills the mouth with peppered black berry flavors supported by a medium level of rounded tannins, lively acid and finishing long. Drinking now, it should remain good to 2015.- LPB"
