PROVENANCE AWARDS & ACCOLADES
VINTAGE 2014
BLUE-GOLD & TOP 100 WINES ~ 2019 Sydney International Wine Competition
90 PTS ~ James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com
"A very forthright style with ripe fruit and plenty of extract. The nose offers dark, brambly fruit, ahead of a very rich, sweet palate that has a soft and ripe finish. Drink or hold."
92/100 ~ Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 9th March 2019
"Deep red colour with a tint of purple and a very oaky bouquet. Coffee, mocha, and sawn-timber notes. The wine is very full-bodied and dense, rich, concentrated, and big-boned. The tannins are assertive and grippy but not unbalanced as the flavour is also massive... It's also juicy, fruit-sweet, and lush. A very generous mouthful of red wine, which would also reward further cellaring."
Toni Paterson, The Real Review, 5th March 2019
"Fragrant red fruits with accents of cedar. The wine is showing pleasing development on the nose. The palate is quite tight and concentrated, with blackberry and dark chocolate flavours plus background nutty oak. Full-bodied, structural, and intense. Large amounts of chewy tannin"
90 POINTS ~ James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2019
Reviewed by independent wine journalist Dan Traucki, www.facebook.com/dantraucki
"Great depth of colour, red & black berries on the bouquet along with some cherries & a hint of mint. Big, rich unctuous palate with a smidge of chocolate and some spices. DIVINE!!!!"
VINTAGE 2010
“Open-fermented, basket-pressed, and matured in French oak for 22 months. The wine has good depth of colour, and abundant
cassis fruit on the mid-palate…”
