Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2009

The 2007 Shiraz-Viognier (4%) The Relic was sourced from the same parcel. Wild-fermented, it offers up a sexy bouquet of floral notes, bacon, smoked meat, incense, and blueberry. Dense, sweet and layered on the palate, it will offer much pleasure over the next 8-10 years. It does not get much better than this from the 2007 vintage.

The Standish Wine Company is quickly becoming one of the Barossa Valley's benchmarks. -Jay Miller

Opaque purple. Pungent bouquet displays aromas of dark berries, candied plum and licorice. Picks up brighter raspberry and rose qualities with aeration and offers deep, sweet red and dark berry flavors and velvety texture. Livelier than the 2006 version, combining intense sweetness with strong mineral cut on the spicy finish. -Josh Raynolds

Firm as granite, with a strong mineral character to the plum and blackberry flavors, hinting at black olive as the finish rolls on against refined tannins. Best from 2012 through 2018. 1,000 cases made. -HS
