Wine Spectator:  Rated as Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style. "This polished, focused red is distinctive for the spice and tobacco accents to the supple core of red berry and cherry flavors, lingering on the generous finish. Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Tempranillo and Carignane. Drink now through 2015." Oct 2010

Winery:  "This multi-dimensional wine is an exciting blend. The colour is a beautiful black cherry with aromas of dark plum, chocolate, and savoury black olive. The palate is a soft mouthful of forest fruits with wild bramble undertones and a fine stylish finish. A quintet of a blend in perfect harmony!"

Wired For Wine:  There is nothing like having some Barossa bang for your buck on hand as you enjoy the warm, sunny days of summer.  Meet our delicious friend, Peter Lehmann Layers Barossa Red.  Open your first bottle and revel in the incredible texture of this magical blend of five grapes.  It is in the style of a Spanish-Mediterranean blend, so eat accordingly!  We love to tuck into a platter of crimini mushroom, balsamic onion and soppressata pizza bites with our first glass or two.  The salt of the salami is a lovely balance against the ripe, dark fruit of this Peter Lehmann.  Moving on to the entree, it works beautifully with meats, barbecue, grilled duck and more.  We love its spice and lengthy finish with a Greek pastitsio.  It's a baked casserole meal with ground lamb and beef cooked with cinnamon, garlic and oregano,mixed with a heavenly tomato sauce and noodles, topped by the most mouthwateringly decadent Bechamel sauce ever.  Grilled rack of lamb with a warm olive prune sauce is another great option which will bring out the tannins, courtesy of the Tempranillo.  And finally, smoked pork tenderloin with bourbon/rosemary sauce is a fitting choice if you are looking to bring out the tobacco accent of this Layers.  After all the big decisions and eating, open one more bottle and savor another glass with a traditional English Double Gloucester cheese.  Its gentle, tangy flavor is perfect with the whisper of spice in this Barossa beauty.  Drink up Mates!
