Jeremy Oliver 95 points!"Complex, brooding and meaty, lifted by heady, fragrant and spicy Viognier, this is a first class wine whose sumptuous fruit, high quality oak and firm powdery tannins are finely balanced and tightly integrated. It's deep and youthful perfume of berry and plum like fruit reveals reductive, charcuterie-like undertones and Apricot-like suggestions of viognier. Long, alluring and silky, with glimmers of mint and menthol beneath its juicy vibrant fruit."
Jeremy Oliver " The Australian Wine Annual 2007.
Jeremy Oliver 95 points!"The 2004 Descendant, an old oak-aged blend of 92% Shiraz and 8% Viognier from a 12-year old vineyard, offers up notes of blackberries, ink, sweet truffles, and acacia flowers. There are 1,000 cases of this full-bodied, intense, rich blockbuster. It will drink well for 10-15 years."
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #167 (Oct 2006).
Wine Spectator 93 points!"Lithe, open-textured Shiraz-Viognier blend, offering pretty boysenberry flavors. Feels lighter than most Barossa Shiraz and shows the floral and peach accents of the Viognier. Not quite as seamless as previous vintages, but it has a personality of its own. Drink now through 2012."
