Moppity’s latest Halliday reviews and scores:
2017 Escalier Shiraz – 97 pts – Special Value
“..It is a wine of considerable quality, its dark plum/blackberry fruits established their dominance from the outset, not wavering on the palate, finish or aftertaste.”
2017 Reserve Cabernet – 97 pts – Special Value
“This is a seriously good cabernet.. whether judged by its varietal expression, its regional typicity, its handling in the winery.. all reflected in its line, length and balance. Cassis is writ large.”
2017 Estate Shiraz – 96 pts – Special Value
“..A very expressive bouquet, with cherry blossom and spicy aromas, the medium-bodied palate picking up the story without blinking with its layers of seductive red and purple fruits. ”
2017 Estate Chardonnay – 94 pts
“..Primarily delicate, but builds the story on the back-palate and finish.”
2017 Lock & Key Reserve Tempranillo – 93 pts
“Well made. Cherry, cherry everywhere – all types and flavours. It all comes together on the coherent, well balanced palate and aftertaste.”
2017 Lock & Key Merlot – 93 pts – Special Value
“…this is a really attractive wine”
