James Suckling (JS) : 91 Points (2012)
Blackberry compote, pressed violets, mulberries and some eucalyptus. Full body, lots of delicious fruit, firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink in 2020. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot and syrah.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 90 Points (2012)
Mature, showing a broad, loamy swath of currant and blackberry fruit flavors that have melded with smoldering tobacco and worn leather notes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Drink now through 2019. 6,391 cases made.

Robert Parker (RP) : 88 Points (2011)
The 2011 Estate Reserve is a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah and 10% Merlot with 10% Petit Verdot, matured in French oak barrels for 18 months. It has a savory component on the nose that rather dominates the black fruit, hints of iodine and a vein of blue fruit originating from the Petit Verdot. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin on the entry, saturated black fruit laced with tobacco and cracked black pepper that gains more depth towards the sinewy finish. I am just seeking a little more harmony between the grape varieties here, more cohesion.

The Grand Vin Chardonnay displays a wonderful slightly straw colour. The nose displays vibrant citrus, lime zest, hints of apple with underlying minerality and vanilla butterscotch. The palate has a fantastic balance, minerality and fruit expression with richness coming through
