James Suckling – 2018 Vintage Review - “This is so very complex and fragrant with such impressive Eden Valley spice and blueberry fruit, as well as dark-stone nuances. The blueberry flavors are so pure and essence-like and silky tannins carry the flavors so deep and vivid. Seamless. Drink over the next fifteen years.” - Nick Stock, James Suckling’s Top 100 Australian Wines of 2021

James Halliday – “This is a beautiful wine, its aroma, its palate, its weight, its varietal and regional expression giving rise to a continuous stream of velvety pleasure. Flawless”

James Halliday – "... I love the transparency of the Barossa’s cooler seasons, in such articulate detail here that all 4 varieties are clearly visible in all their glory. Unashamedly medium bodied, refreshing and enticing, yet in no way underpowered, simplistic or short lived. Crunchy berry fruits, fine-ground tannins and vibrant acidity unite to marvellous effect and outstanding line and length. It takes some skill, dexterity and humility in the winery to allow fruit of such elegance to really sing. A classic Barossa blend with a long future before it.” 13 AUGUST 2021 - Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion

Huon Hooke – This blend of shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot has a track record of consistency, and ages beautifully. It’s labelled Barossa, a zone that embraces Eden Valley as well as Barossa Valley proper. It certainly tastes like a Henschke Eden Valley red, with tell-tale raspberry and sage among various dried-herb and spice aromas, floral and earthy nuances too. It’s deliciously fruit-sweet, almost lush in the mouth, the masses of fine, subtly drying tannins keeping the finish and aftertaste neat and disciplined. A lovely wine, approachable already but certainly built to last and will be reward even a few years in the cellar. (Screwcap)

James Halliday – Halliday Wine Companion I must admit, I have a soft spot for off-dry riesling. Disclaimer: I'm a Kiwi and a fan of German wines so this makes sense, but I've always enjoyed the Prima. Those fresh lime and crunchy apple notes are there, sluiced with soft spice and heady blossom notes, but I love the dance between sweetness and acid, the tension, and the tempering effect of the acidity on the perception of sweetness. It's about balance and the Prima gets it right, especially in the impressive 2021 vintage. Dave Brookes

The Wine Front – Wine Front: "It’s a delicious young Riesling. Lemon, lime and slate flavors rush straight and direct through the palate, aided though by a smidgen of textural softness. There’s almost a kaffir lime leaf character here. It’s hard to tell how this will age--it seems so up-and-about now--but as a young wine it tastes terrific."

James Halliday – “Open-fermented, 8 days on skins, 26 months in French barriques (35% new) plus 20 months in bottle before release. Cassis/blackcurrant notes plus mint and briar.”

The Wine Front – Cherry, Old Jamaica chocolate, almond meal, mint, cardamom and exotic spice. It's fleshy and ripe, lots of smooth sooty tannin, choc-cherry and almond paste, a subtle chicory bitterness, quite opulent, though maybe lacking a bit of energy and cut, though there's no shortage of luxurious flavour and a welcome mat of ripe tannin, the finish feels a bit soft and blurred. Could just need some time. - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
