2008 Rocky Gully Cabernets
Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar
"A wild, pungent bouquet of dried cherry, redcurrant, underbrush and smoked meat. Deep red berry and bitter cherry flavors are a bit slow to unfold, slowly offering gentle sweetness and a hint of chewing tobacco. Leaves spice and smoke notes behind on the chewy, tightly focused finish. This needs a little bottle age. "

Tony Love - The Sunday Times
"A GOOD, honest journeyman blend of cabernet franc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon with quite fragrant top-note cabernet berry leading the way, filled and fleshed out with some plumier merlot in a well-built, friendly drinking Bordeaux style that has a dusting of tannin suited to juicy steaks and grills."

Donna Hay Magazine
"My local bottle shop just started stocking this wine and I picked it up on my way to a BYO Italian feast with the girls. Its really silky on the palate with lovely dark fruits and good value, too. An easy drinking number."

"Scoop" - Regional Wines, Winter Warmers
"Although a little closed on the nose this wine still shows a varietal expression of blackberries and herbs. The fruit shows freshness with medium-bodied weight and some grippy tannins to finish."
