Wine Advocate

Some excellent values emerge from this Victoria winery. The top bargain is the brilliant blend of 86% Shiraz, 9% Malbec, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2005 Memsie. Aged 6-9 months in old American oak, it exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, a big, sweet perfume of blueberries and blackberries, soft, heady fruit flavors, a touch of wood, and a background earthy, spicy component. Drink this supple, easy-going, delicious red over the next 2-3 years.

Score: 90. —Robert Parker, December 2006.

Wine Spectator

Bright and open-textured, with pretty currant and plum fruit at the core, hinting at coffee and pepper as the finish lingers. Syrah, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2010. 12,000 cases imported.

Score: 89. —Harvey Steiman, February 28, 2007.
