Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald, November 24, 2009

"In boardrooms around the country, strategies are being devised to counter the growing menace that is Kiwi sauvignon blanc ... just which grape is big and tough enough to take on the heavyweight? .... "

Jeni Port, Epicure, The Age, September 22, 2009

Graeme Phillips, The Sunday Tasmanian

 "It has the mix of cool-climate, spicy, peppery notes and ripe, warm, curranty oomph just about perfect, ... the flavours, though, are beautiful (While lightish), and we'd be delighted if it found a fan base"

Campbell Mattinson and Gary Walsh, The Big Red Wine Book 2009/10
