- TASTING NOTE: "Deep and densely coloured; full-bodied and rich in Torbreck style. On the first assessment the wine is indeed impressive, then impact ex tannins and alcohol hit, then a mouthful of soda water recalibrates all the black cherry, blackberry, licorice and charcuterie flavours come striding through on the mid-palate and on to the finish." 97 Points - James Halliday
- ABOUT THE WINE: Fruit is sourced from three old vine vineyards in the Barossa Valley. 24 months in a combination of new (40%), second fill and seasoned French oak barriques.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: First established by Dave Powell in the 1990's Torbreck Vintners was acquired in September 2013, wealthy Californian entrepreneur and vintner Peter Kight (of Quivira Vineyards).
