"An attractive array of black and red fruits with ripples of spice and chocolate; much more structure than most, and no jammy characters. Oak incidental. A bargain."  James Halliday, Aug. 1, 2005.

"The charming 2004 Clarry’s Red is a delicious concoction of 80% Grenache and 20% Shiraz. With abundant quantities of black cherries and currants as well as hints of plums and pepper, this medium-bodied, soft, velvety-textured, seductive red should be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years.
 
In 2004, Kalleske was the biggest surprise of my tastings. Thanks to cutting edge importer, Dan Philips of the Grateful Palate, I was introduced to the high quality wines of Troy Kalleske, one of the Barossa’s top growers who owns 400 acres, primarily in the highly renowned Greenock region. This is clearly an up and coming superstar estate that merits considerable attention."  Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, October 2005.

"Best wineries of the region … Barossa Valley … Kalleske."
"… the density of the flavour of the Shiraz and Grenache is awesome."
"Kalleske… 4.5 stars… Excellent producer of very high quality wines."  James Halliday, 2006 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion, August 2005.
