Reviews

“A very nice wine with an equally nice price tag! Light to medium body, the red offers significant aspects of dark fruits, herbs, liquorice and smoke. The tannins are still youthful, so it can be cellared for a couple of years.” Evan Saviolidis, Wine Tidings Magazine, March 2009

“Creekside’s ability to craft serious, ageworthy red wines has long been established. Its award winning portfolio of top-of-the-line Reserve reds is not to be missed. But there’s also something to be said for the easy appeal of its varietal wines, like this flashy and fruity Cabernet that’s drinking beautifully right now. Best Buy.” Christopher Waters July/August, 2009.

‘Great price for the classically built Cabernet. Alluring notes of black raspberry, black currant, mocha and cigar box. Full-bodied but supple with a lovely finish.” Score 88/100 Natalie Maclean, Nat Decants, March 2009
