Fine, smoky nose. Pungent but elegant deep berry and earth flavors, and a velvety, beautifully textured mouthfeel. Finishes sweet and fairly plummy. A very suave, even svelte Shiraz.

The Coonawarra fruit shows immediately. Zesty nose, with dark berry fruit, earth and smoky bacon-fat notes. Dark fruit with cocoa nuances on the palate. Nice feel on the palate; the fruit and acid are in very good balance. Dry, spicy and elegant finish. Lively and satisfying.

A very dark, very ripe wine that impresses through its sheer size. It smells sweet, with cherry cola, white chocolate, and vanilla aromas, and that impression of sweetness carries over to the palate. Tastes very full-bodied and rich, like black-cherry jam. The tannins are soft and velvety.

A ripe and fruity Chard with a lavish overlay of sweet, smoky oak and spicy vanilla. It's very extracted and a little clumsy, with a rough, earthy finish.

Slight berry and carob notes compete with woody and herbaceous aromas on the nose of this light wine. The palate has decent balance and shows tart berry fruit, but here the herbaceous note turns more green and bell pepper-like, remaining through the finish.

The fruit here comes exclusively from the winery’s namesake vineyard in the Hilltops district. Cassis-like aromatics with a slight herbal cool streak. Excellent depth of Cabernet fruit, lots of dark blackberry flavor, with touches of cedar and cigar box. Rich mouthfeel and a long, round, palate-caressing finish. Beautifully made and very satisfying.

Displays not just good flavors but considerable complexity for a Cabernet in this price range. Aromas of very ripe berries, with attractive herb, smoke and earth nuances. Flavors of cassis, dark chocolate and toast. Very good mouthfeel and a long, clean finish. Unexpected elegance.

Deep berry aromas, with smoky, brambly notes. On the palate, robust berry flavors and a very good mouthfeel; a touch lush but just enough acidity to keep it neat. Nice finish. Very good varietal character. Best Buy.
