Ben MacPhee-Sigurdson, Food & Drinks
17 Jan. 20194.5 starsBlackcurrant, blackberry, cassis, spearmint and a savoury herbal note dominate on the nose of this Clare Valley red, with modest lacquer/vanilla notes hinting at oak. On the dry but fruit-forward, full-bodied palate the fruit is dark and chewy, highlighting blackberry, raspberry and plum notes while supported by anise, mint and secondary woody notes. Overall this is a sophisticated, silky Cabernet Sauvignon that brings mild tannins and a smooth, pleasant finish and that -

17 Apr. 20194 starsThe lifted lively nose is resplendent with black currant, spice and espresso roast aromas. It coats the palate with a full-bodied, full-textured, full-Monty gusher of chewy cassis, mulberry, peppery and minty notes joined by tang-laden pie cherry persisting through the lengthy mouth-watering finish.

Nick Stock, Take Note: Real Australian Wine Is Here
17 Jul. 201990/100This has a distinctive, minty edge amid a strong cassis and blue plum fruit core. Gently leafy too. A confident expression of cabernet. Bright and attractive. Drink now.

Ray Jordan, Top 100 Red Wines
17 Jul. 201991/100One of the big names of the Clare Valley. This shows the pure, juicy red berry cabernet fruit of the region, with an effortlessly long palate a feature. This is a thoroughly, beautifully well-made wine ready for the next few years. -

Josh Raynolds, Australia Brings the Brawn and the Beauty
17 Oct. 201989/100Glass-staining ruby. Aromas of dried cherry, cassis, licorice and mint, joined by slowly emerging woodsmoke and dark chocolate notes. Bitter cherry and currant flavors open up slowly while gaining flesh and breadth. Clings nicely on the finish, which features youthfully firm tannins, a touch of smokiness and building sweetness

Robert Lublin, Review: Wines of Taylors
17 Nov. 2019B+This is a juicy, fruity wine on the nose, with lots of ripe plum accompanied by a touch of mint. The lush plum carries forward into the palate, but is restrained by just the right amount of tannin. The finish is surprisingly dry for such a fruity wine and just a little bit astringent. This is an excellent value Cabernet, showing richness and depth at an affordable price.

Spanish Lamb
Delicious slow-cooked Spanish lamb with a complex array of herbs, along with garlic, olive oil and wine. Could be enjoyed with either a white or a light-bodied red wine.
