Tyson Stelzer 93 points!" High octane Aussie Shiraz rarely hits this level of refinement. Certainly not at this price. This year it's rich and spicy to the nth degree. With glossy black fruits ricocheting at your palate from all directions. The tannins are fine and velvety and tis ripe alcohol lends a glycerol smoothness rather than an afterburn. Sensational."

Wine Advocate 99 points!"The 2005 Shiraz Reserve was sourced from a 45-year-old vineyard and aged for 18 months in American and French oak of various sizes. A saturated purple color, it presents an array of otherworldly scents including smoke, mineral, meat, game, bacon, and blueberry. Thick, rich, and voluptuous, this mouth-filling, full-bodied Shiraz is about as hedonistic as it gets. Although the wine is seamless, there is some tannin lurking under all the fruit which will permit 8-10 years of cellaring for those able to delay gratification. The finish is amazingly long and pure, seeming to never end. As usual, the Noon wines are benchmarks against which all others must be compared.
Noon Winery is owned and operated by Drew and Rae Noon. It continues to be one of Australia's benchmarks."
