Miss Harry 2008

2008 Miss Harry "a lusciously juicy wine"
Jul-2010

Bright, light colour; a lusciously juicy wine, with cherry and raspberry flavours tempered by a slightly savoury finish; good length and balance. Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvèdre/Cinsaut.

2007 Private Cellar

Good hue; blackberry, blackcurrant, earth and dark chocolate all coalesce on the medium- to full-bodied palate, which has outstanding texture and structure, oak and tannins precisely controlled; 20 years cellaring suggestion on front label seems remarkably modest.

The Mad Hatter Shiraz 2007

2007 The Mad Hatter 94 points!
Jul-2010

Still holding youthful colour; red and black fruits, spice, a wisp of dark chocolate and mocha oak on the bouquet lead into a vibrant palate that has just enough fruit to carry 20 months in 100% new French oak. A modern interpretation of the Blewitt Springs subregion of McLaren Vale.
