The Hillside Shiraz is a memorable wine from an excellent vintage. Dark purple in colour is one of its hallmarks, along with an intriguing mix of charred sage, roast prunes, capsicum with hints of stewed blackberry, as well as rhubarb on the nose. Rich, juicy, generous flavours of blackberry, mocha, fresh smoked bacon and a hint of eucalypt flood the palate. This wine speaks of richness, complexity and weight on the mid-palate, completed by balanced seamless fruit tannins, as well as fine acidity. The finish is soft yet supple and the aftertaste just goes on and on. The structure suggests this wine is a keeper and can only benefit from quality time in the cellar.'Strong colour: a generous, full-bodied shiraz, replete with black fruits, savoury notes and ample tannins are presented with a backdrop of mocha/vanillan oak. Very good wine with a long future.' - 94 Points. - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2014.
