Thorn Clarke Barossa Shotfire Shiraz 2013
Reg Bottle $19.99 15% off mix 6 $16.99 20% off mix 12 $15.99
James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 95 Points"Chomping at the bit to show off its sweet, jubey fruit but chains of herb-shot tannin keep the class in order. There is no doubting this is a beautiful wine to drink. It sits on the cusp of jamminess, all jellied and blackberried, its hints of raspberry and mint simply ramping the deliciousness higher."-  Drink now to 2020.
Winemaker - deep red with purple hues. The wine has a lifted nose of clean blackberry fruit and dried plums accompanied by dark chocolate. The palate displays sweet fruit characters dominated by ripe plums and dark chocolate. The wine is full-bodied with obvious fine tannin structure and oak maturation adding texture and complexity to the wine. The wine has long persistent finish.
Thorn Clarke Barossa Shotfire Quartage 2012 (Bordeaux/Meritage Blend)
Reg Bottle $19.99 15% off mix 6 $16.99 20% off mix 12 $15.99
James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 95 Points "A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, petit verdot and merlot. Comes from a distinguished line of wines that have over-delivered, and this wine is up there with best of those made to date. While much of its quality comes from the vineyard, it has also been very well made; its blackcurrant, redcurrant, cherry and spice flavours flow in a seamless stream across the palate and aftertaste." - Drink now to 2020.
Wine & Spirits 92 PointsThough the score does not take price into account, it's rare to find an Australian wine in this price range that tastes as vinous, integrated, fresh and zesty as this blend...and from Barossa, for that matter. While the spring in 2012 was warm, summer was relatively cool, and this estate-grown cabernet blend sustained that coolness through a night harvest. This offers powerful cabernet grip, along with the purple fruit of petit verdot and the lovely ripeness of merlot. It's rich without any excess weight, floral, fragrant and lasting. Buy a bottle and you'll probably end up buying a case."
