Huon Hooke 93 points!
"Pyrette Heathcote Shiraz is sourced from an impeccably sited and managed vineyard near Colbinabbin on the Mount Camel Range. The specific parcel of vines this fruit comes from is at the highest block on deep red, rocky Cambrian soils on a cooler easterly facing slope. The picking date is carefully assessed in order to capture fruit vibrancy and freshness whilst also capturing the typical mouthfilling richness and length of the region. The wine is made in 1000 litre open vats, fermented with ambient yeast and matured in French barrels, 20% new. The yield, harvest date and winemaking are deliberately aimed at producing a wine of regional authenticity in a style highlighting fragrance, vitality, finesse and harmony."
Bibendum
Huon Hooke 93 points!"Deepish red/purple colour, youthful and bright. Clove, nutmeg, walnut and brazilnut aromas, an array of dried spices. The palate is taut and medium-bodied, very dry and savoury, with a mouth-suckering aridity that is most appetising. Lively, elegant and long on the palate. Tight, refined and penetrating. Lovely wine, worth cellaring."
