Tarrawatta Description
95 points James Halliday
"Hand-picked shiraz from the Ambervale vineyard in Moculta. Aged in French oak for 23 months. There's a lovely purple sheen to the hue in the glass as the wine shows characters of deep, spicy black fruits, sheathed in cedary oak, licorice and dark chocolate. Impressive fruit flow and presence on the palate; balance and composition all in check, ripe tannin support and a graceful and long curtain call. Elegant drinking and a great prospect for the cellar."
Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points
"The deep ruby/purple-hued 2019 Shiraz Ambervale is more closed and backward, with promising ripe darker fruits as well as peppery herbs and some gamey, exotic nuances that develop with air. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it has ample structure, good mid-palate depth, and a great finish. This isn't an up-front fruit bomb, and it has real depth and class. Give bottles a solid decant if drinking any time soon, and it's going to have 10-15 years of longevity. It's beautifully done."

"The 2019 Ambervale Shiraz is a peculiar wine, but I like peculiar: it makes me think. The tannins are a real highlight; they have a pumice stone/pulverized character, and really draw the dark purple/gray fruit characters over the tongue and through into the long finish. It's midnight dark in the glass and resiny and dark in its soul, but it's detailed and focused too. Black tea, blackberry/raspberry seeds, fennel, dark cocoa and graphite. Good. Structure over fruit."
