"The 2005 Shiraz “Greenock Block” is opaque purple-colored with aromas of pain grille, black pepper, scorched earth, blueberry compote, and blackberry liqueur. Intense and layered, this full-bodied effort packs a punch. There are gobs of fruit and plenty of tannin under the surface. This unsubtle but powerful wine can be cellared for several years and will drink well through 2020." 90/100, Robert Parker:

"Smooth and polished, with lots of raspberry and black cherry flavors playing beautifully against plush tannins, the flavors lingering on the finish as they pick up black plum and spice notes. Drink now through 2015. 1,050 cases made." 93/100, Wine Spectator: –HS

"Inky ruby. Powerful raspberry and blackberry aromas are complicated by Asian spices and fresh flowers, with a suave overlay of sexy oak. Creamy dark fruit flavors display a brooding quality; this took on blueberry and creme de cassis qualities with air. A weighty, layered shiraz with a long, sweet finish featuring slow-mounting tannins and a strong impression of plum compote." 92/100, Stephen Tanzer
