Canvas Magazine, July 2014
From grapes grown in the southern Barossa ranges where the long ripening periods and crisp cool nights are well suited to this much-loved Italian varietal. Very herby with distinctive displays of violets, cherries and plums and enough acidity to drink now or cellar for years. Perfect with pasta and great buying.

The Key Report, September 2014
Light delicate fragrant nose soft and gentle across the palate and the most wonderful finish with perfume lingering, great value at $20.
