- 5 STARS -
Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2007 - Bright colour; vibrant
& fresh blue & black berry fruits, toasty oak & a delicate seasoning
of liquorice; the palate is lively & full of fresh fruit, supple tannins
& a long, expansive & harmonious finish.
ProCork. 14.5% alc. Rating 95 to 2025

Ross Tier One Barossa Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 - This wine
has more of everything; more dark fruits, more liquorice, more
toasty oak & plenty of complex barrel-ferment charcuterie notes;
the palate is dense & weighty on entry, yet fresh acidity manages
to keep the wine relatively light on its feet; plenty of time
left ahead. Cork. 14.5% alc. Rating 94 to 2035

Ross Barossa Shiraz 2008 - Rating 90 to 2018
Ross Single Vineyard Barossa Riesling 2010 - Rating 89 to 2016
Ross Barossa Tempranillo 2009 - Rating 89 To 2014

The Sydney Morning Herald
14 September 2010 By Huon Hooke
"Top Aussie Red Ross Estate
Old Vine Grenache, Barossa Valley 2006 $23.
This is a terrific mouthful of generous, rustic, funky
flavour that begs to be drunk with a hearty meat or offal dish.
The palate is solid, grippy and authoritative. Now to 10 years;
14.5 percent alcohol. 92/100. Food Steak and kidney pie"
