Wine Enthusiast:  Rated as Excellent, extremely well made and highly recommended. "A top value, this full-bodied yet supple Shiraz packs in the flavor, starting with dark, brooding fruit on the nose, developing intensely flavored mixed berries on the palate and finishing warm and long. Drink now." Sept 2010

Winery  "Lifted spice and ripe mulberry/blackberry aromas are complimented with chocolate, cedar and cinnamon on the nose. Well integrated oak tannin provides flavours of clove and supple texture which supports the rich plum, blackberry and mocha. The overall structure is supple and generous with finegrained tannin on the finish enveloped with ripe fruit overtones."

Wired For Wine:  The Aussies have done it again, winelovers! This Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz will have you holding your glass out for more in no time flat.  Pour the first generous glasses and reel in the crowd with a trance-inducing platter of pepper-crusted steak with horseradish cream atop grilled garlic crostini. That's what we're talking about.  As for the entree, the full body, deep, dark fruit, fresh spice and fine, oaky tannins will allow this Jip Jip Rocks to pair well with grilled meats, barbecue, duck and rich pastas.  A great choice to bring out the cedary/oak side of this lush Shiraz is a soy-honey glazed duck roasted to perfection.  If pasta is what you're in the mood for, then whip up a big, steaming bowl of spaghetti with soppressata, Italian sausage, tomatoes and basil.  Make sure that the sauce is reduced to a rich thickness so that it matches the flavor intensity of this lovely Australian red.  We love the gorgeous fruit in this Shiraz next to caramelized red onions on a panini of lamb paillard and  grilled eggplant as another tasty option.  How will you ever decide?  To bring what is sure to have been a delicious meal to a close, open another bottle and savor it with a meaty, stout Swiss Val Bagner cheese.  Its "sublime mountain pasture flavors" will be the cherry on top of this Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz.
