WBM Australia’s Wine Business Magazine (Mar/Apr 2019 issue) – Mike Bennie: “How cool to see a growing, albeit small, cohort of Tempranillo producers in Margaret River, here with a wine produced in a medium bodied fashion with neat and tidy savouriness and a light dusting of woody spice. Sarsaparilla and cherry cola chime in too. Lovely, soft, supply drinking experience.”

The West Australian Wine Guide 2020 – Ray Jordan: “Starting to develop some subtle secondary characters with extra time in bottle. The dark cherry and dried herb fruit have been partnered with American oak, which has worked well. Has a plush and already complex palate with a hint of lather and spice. It will handle further time in the cellar, but I reckon it’s great drinking now.”

Selector Magazine (May/Jun 2019 issue): “Rosabrook hold up this wine as one of their estate specialties. It’s unashamedly a bigger style, with plenty of power and grunt throughout. Not the wine for a crisp summer salad. Spicy blackcurrant, perfumed florals and vanillin oak aromas lead to an oak-driven palate rich in jammy dark berry fruit with multi-layered tannins, crisp acidity and rustic secondary characters.”

Winestate Magazine ‘Best of the West Wine Show 2020’: “A wine that is a complexity of toasty/ cedary oak layered with cola-like fruit character.”
