93 Points - Angus Hughson, The Wine Pilot “Alan Varney sources parcels of fruit from McLaren and the Adelaide Hills for his newish range – the Shiraz coming from a combination of the two. It feels much more like your classic McLaren Vale with its bright, deep ruby colour and then robust, generously fruited style. The aromas are in the blackberry, tar and leather spectrum with a dusting of spice and red liquorice coming in to add attractive delicacy. That fleshy fruit is then joined by a chewy, slightly rustic palate where sinewy tannins and cedary oak provide a firm backbone. It drinks well now, and is quite a serious version of McLaren Vale Shiraz that will get better with a little time in bottle.” “Sourced from vineyards in both the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. The cooler Hills fruit provides spice and aromatic lift while the warmer Vale vineyards lend weight, flesh, and depth. This is a modern approach to Shiraz intended to showcase the aromatic, spicy, structured character of the variety. This wine can be carefully cellared for well over a decade after release.” - Alan Varney, Winemaker 100% Shiraz 150 dozen made 14.4% Alc/Vol
