James Halliday – "If Pat Carmody can’t make great shiraz, then we should all shut up shop. He’s only been doing so at Craiglee for, oh, about 40-plus years. There's a DNA imprint to this, with a whorl of dark fruit, warm spices shot through, cedary oak and wafts of red roses. Very savoury though, fuller bodied with archetypal Craiglee tannins supple, shapely and ripe. Yes, a lovely wine made by a legend." (Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion)
About This Wine
This new release received 96 Points, and a Special Value rating from Halliday Wine Companion.
"What the Carmody family has achieved since it replanted an historic vineyard site in '76 is as unlikely as it is remarkable. In a largely unheralded region, and surrounded by burgeoning housing estates, it has consistently produced spicy, peppery, medium-weight shiraz of the highest quality and character, in the process establishing itself among the best of the best producers in Australia. Craiglee’s reputation is long-held but, if anything, it continues to rise."
- Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
