Chuck Hayward: Intense aromas of black olive and concentrated blackberry present themselves in an understated manner. Pure and pristine, one can easily see the potential for further aromatic...

Mike Supple: 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier, but the little 5% does an amazing job lifting the aromas out of the glass. Fun and different, this is a fantastic little wine. Bright ruby and purp...

Jancis Robinson: 100% separate parcel. Whole bunch fermentation off the north facing slope of Tarraford, no filtration, gravity bottled. Very vibrant and rather austere and demanding. Yes, it'...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Deep red. Aromas of currant, loam, dark chocolate and smoky oak. Intensely flavored but much dryer than the shiraz, with firm acids giving it strong backbone. Finishes with st...

Wine Spectator: "Smart Buy" Designation: Dark and spicy, with violet notes around the blackberry and mineral flavors, finishing with shades of pepper and smoke. Drink now through 2016. --Harv...

Wine Enthusiast: Dark garnet-black in color, but as dark as it is, this is not one of those explosive, overextracted types of New World Pinot. This one serves up cherry flavors that are juicy ...

Wine Spectator: Crisp and vibrant. A juicy mouthful of blueberry and plum flavors, with a black pepper note and a pleasing minerality to the finish that give this distinction. Best from 2009 ...

Wine Front: This 2007 is not a hard wine to like. It's beautifully structured. Beautifully fruited. Blackberries, cloves, eucalypt and integrated cedary oak. Indeed I kept coming back to ...

Wine Front: Comes with a curious bronzing garnet colour and light bright spice aromas, though there's suggestions of savoury and animale too. Has an appealing meaty, rustic edge, linear a...

James Halliday: Mid-crimson; the bouquet is loaded with seductive sweet red and black fruits, Asian spices and a little gamey complexity; the palate is silky and seductive on entry, the mid-p...

Wine Front: It's an elegant pinot noir with punchy length. Not quite a peacock's tail but not far from it. Dark cherries with a lighter, redder, strawberried lift. Forest floor. Saucy soy...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Opaque ruby. Smoky, mineral-driven aromas of black raspberry, cherry-cola, cured meat and violets, plus a strong spicecake overtone. Intense red berry flavors are lifted by ...

Wine & Spirits: A fresh and fragrant shiraz, this ranges from umami scents of black mushrooms and earthy roots to candied plum. Its dark fruit flavors have delicate persistence, the tannins h...

Wine Front: We're late to come to this - the 2007 may even have been released? - but now that I don't live in Melbourne it can be difficult to get ahold of a Craiglee. I've had this relea...

About this Wine: Bindi Block Five Pinot Noir was planted in 1992. The Block Five vineyard is about half of one hectare in size on a sheltered, north facing, and very quartz riddled site. It is...

Wine Spectator: This has great presence, offering a focused mouthful of ebullient flavors, ranging from blackberry and cherry to tar, wet pavement and licorice notes, all of it sailing over r...

Wine Spectator: Lots of raspberry and tobacco flavors slide easily across polished tannins, lingering nicely on the deftly balanced finish. Graceful stuff. Drink now through 2017. -HS

James Halliday: Bright, clear colour; the fragrant mix of red fruits, spice and forest on the bouquet leads into a silky, mouthwatering palate, with red fruits, fine tannins and precisely cal...
