93 Points - Matt Kettmann - Wine Enthusiast.
Spawned by rebel passion, this tower of power will rock Rhone style lovers in a big Paso way with an irresistible and pure expression of aromatics, finesse and finish. "why are winemakers scared to do this blend? If you show some respect When you combine two of paso's most powerful grapes, something magical happens." An explosive rush of black fruit, spice and tannins just lets the bull out of the cage. A lush and concentrated profile carries an awesome purity with Wondering lively acidity.

Two of the most prestigious westside Adelaide district single vineyards. The intense fruit forwardness contributed by the coastal influence of La Vista vineyards block 6 syrah is balanced perfectly with the late ripening and muscular tannins of the north facing block of Tannat at Bella Collina vineyard.
