95 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front 

"Sourced from predominantly 100 year old vines on the Turkey Flat Vineyard. Winemaker Mark Bulman is something of a Grenache enthusiast, and rightly so, because it’s a better grape than Shiraz. If you’d like to hear me talk more rubbish about an assortment of things, you might like to listen to a podcast (The Vincast) I did HERE last September. Can also use Spotify and all those other things. CM and Curly have also had a little talk on the same one, though mine is easily the best, as you’d likely expect me to say. Anyway, this wine brought to mind some comments I made about a movement toward seeing more tannin and structure in Australian wine. So.

This is a serious sort of Grenache, packed with tannin and a meaty reductive character (as a young wine, at least). Cherry pip, raspberry, maybe strawberry, but dry feeling and distinctly not sweet, falling more to hazelnuts and ironstone character. It has a latent rosy perfume tucked in there, concentration with lightness and ‘mineral’ feel, and a long tannic finish. It’s top shelf."

95 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion

"For this price, it's astounding that the lion's share of the grenache in this wine hails from 100+yo estate-grown vines; we are indeed a lucky country. A vibrant red-fruited aromatic blast with hints of ginger cake, cola, exotic spice, purple flowers and light Turkish delight lift. Juicy and pure, yet with a stony, savoury lean on the finish. Consistently delightful drinking and a regional classic."
