This Gold, 94pt "blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc is a powerhouse of concentrated flavour and immense drinkability" as Brendan Black WinePilot writes, adding: "…The beautiful notes of blackberry, mulberry, plums, cocoa, cola and cedar, on the nose and palate, align with dusty tannins and ample acidity make for a very enjoyable drop. 93pts.” For Campbell Mattinson, The Halliday Wine Companion, "The quality on offer here is comfortably above average, regardless of price, so much so that when the price was revealed, it was a (good) surprise. It tastes of pure blackcurrant, boysenberry, green olives, spearmint and creamed cedarwood, and the mouthfeel of it, the structure, the flow and the finish are all sitting pretty. 93pts. Great Value."
