Tyson Stelzer 93 points!"An opulent vintage has made this a higher alcohol style than the norm for this label, making it an earlier-drinking priority. A lick of Viognier adds a perfumed lift to its fine-grained white pepper and grippy plum skin palate."
Tyson Stelzer, Wine 100 Jan/Feb 2011
Huon Hooke 92 points!"This is nicely priced at half the cost of Clonakilla's flagship shiraz viognier. Fresh, lifted spice and red fruit aromas with a lick of mint. Medium-bodied and supple, balanced and delicious, it drinks beautifully now but could also be cellared."
Huon Hooke, Gourmet Wine Traveller Feb/March 2011
eRobertParker.com 92 points!"Deep garnet purple colored, the 2009 O'Riada Shiraz (co-fermented with 5% Viognier) has a fragrant nose of black raspberries, crushed black cherries, dark chocolate, cloves and just a hint of torn mint leaves. The palate is nicely balanced with a medium to full-bodied, crisp acid, great concentration and a long finish that straddles spice and fruit."
