| "Powerful and rich, but not the least jammy or overripe; ripples of black fruits supported by good tannins and oak. Fantastic value. 14.5º alc. Rating 94 Drink 2025 Date Tasted Mar 07" James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion.
"The 2005 Shiraz Riebke is a brilliant effort from young, 10-year old vines. It exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color as well as a sweet nose of creme de cassis, melted tar, graphite, and spice. Aged in old American oak for 12 months, it is a pure, nicely textured, full-bodied Shiraz with sweet tannin and enough acidity to provide freshness and uplift. It should drink well for a decade." 91 pts, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct. 2006.
