"The Struie hasnt put a foot wrong in recent years and this is another beauty. Its a smoky, meaty, jammy red, deep in both colour and flavour and long and succulent through the finish. Ive loved the release of the past two years but if anything this is a touch better - Torbreck seems to have managed things brilliantly out of the tricky 2006. Ripping wine. Drink: 2008-2016. 94 points."
Campbell Mattinson, Winefront
"The 2006 The Struie is 100% Shiraz, sourced from cooler, hillside sites, 70% from Barossa Valley and 30% from Eden Valley with vine age ranging from 46 to 110 years. It was aged for 18 months in 20% new oak. Opaque purple-colored, it delivers a striking bouquet of lead pencil, game, mineral, blueberry compote, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a focused, elegant Shiraz with a plush texture, outstanding depth and grip, and 5-7 years of aging potential. It should drink well through 2026."
