94 POINTS - Wine Pilot Tony Love
"Sourced from The Lane estate vineyard east of Hahndorf a range of blocks and clones whole berries co-fermented with a dash of Viognier. The styling has excellent estate form much loved in a previous guise known as Block 5 Shiraz and now carrying on its storyline with a genuine prettiness in the aromas - thanks in part to the Viognier but also a cooler climate expression teased here from Hills Shiraz. Florals abound articulated in a violet note with weaves of pepperand crunchy black berry fruit juicy lively medium bodied and energetic with just the faintest of pleasing gastronomic bitters in the finish. A very smart modern Australian Shiraz"

"Offering excellent purity and perfume the wine shows Black Doris plum blueberry clove and toasted almond characters. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours with excellent weight and silky mouthfeel wonderfully complemented by fleshy texture and polished tannins"

Lifted fine and elegant. A classic cool-climate Shiraz with aromas of lifted violets forest fruits and cloves followed by flavours of dense brambly fruit spice and charcuterie with fine tannins and a delicate acid poise.
