ROBERT PARKER’S WINE ADVOCATE – Issue 173, October 2007
The 2006 Grenache was sourced from bush vines planted in 1921 and spent 12 months in seasoned French Oak. Medium/dark ruby-coloured, it has a superb perfume of pepper, earth, herbs, spice box, and black cherry. Supple-textured, it has a soft blanket of ripe tannin, layers of ripe fruit, excellent depth of flavour, and a long, fruit-filled finish. It will evolve for 4-6 years but can be enjoyed now with Provencal cuisine.
Rating: 90 Points.

TASTE FOOD & WINE -The Best Wines of 2007- Matthew Jukes & Tyson Stelzer
Old vine Grenache is one of Australia's strong suits, but it usually plays second fiddle to the Shiraz. Not this time, because this one's a deluxe Stratocaster! Its plush, comfy black fruits will go with everything but flat turkey's.

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE – Issue 167, October 2006
Richer, deeper, and fuller-bodied with more nuances, the 2005 Grenache exhibits a flowery, black raspberry and sweet kirsch-scented bouquet. A bigger better effort than its older sibling, it should drink well for 5-7 years.

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE – Issue 167, October 2006
Notions of pepper, herbs, spice, earth, liquorice and sweet cherries emerge from the 2004 Grenache. This medium bodied red is best consumed now.
Rating: 89 Points.

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH September 7, 2005
The Turkey Flat vineyard in the Barossa has been owned by the Schulz family since 1870. Current custodian Peter Schulz has some of the world’s oldest Shiraz and Grenache vines at his disposal. Vine age really shows on this purple-hued beauty, which has tarry plum aromas and meaty characters underpinned by ripe, sweet fruit. The overall mouth-feel is fleshy with a savoury finish.

ROBERT PARKER’S WINE ADVOCATE – Issue 161, October 2005
Turkey Flat fashions one of my favourite Barossa Grenaches and their 2003 is again a winner. A deep plum/ruby colour precedes a knock-out bouquet of melted licorice and black cherry jam. Full-bodied and expansively textured with sweet tannin, an earthy spiciness, and a long, heady finish, it should drink well for 4-5 years.
Rating: 92 Points.

EPICURE – UNCORKED with Ralph Kyte-Powell, 2005
Turkey Flat’s range is founded in Barossa tradition and based on some fine old vineyards. This has raspberry liqueur aromas, the attractive sweetness balanced by some spice. The soft palate has plump, ripe, berry fruit in the middle, smooth texture and good balance with ripe tannins in perfect equilibrium. Satisfying, honest Barossa red. Aging: Drink over four years. Food Ideas: Irish stew, roast pumpkin and sage risotto.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

JAMES HALLIDAY’S, AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION 2006
Excellent purple; raspberry and redcurrant fruit, then a fine web of tannins for structure.

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH – FOOD & WINE with Jeff Collerson 6 August, 2003
Grapes from this came mainly off two bush vine blocks planted 80 and 100 years ago. Grenache is a good blender and is used that way in the Chateauneuf-du-pape reds from France. When made singly it often disappoints, but not in this case. It is juicy and supple with peppery spice.

EWINEEXCHANGE, www.ewinexchange.com.au
Mid crimson in colour. A delightful bouquet of Grenache on steroids, currant jubes, hot confection and a sprinkling of clove and cinnamon spice, there is a high alcohol lift with a hint of black tar. This is a big, concentrated mouthful of wine, blackberry and currant confection in the company of peat and crushed ants easing into back palate notes of spice and oak lactones, formidable but delicious. There is a very good duration of persistence accompanied by surprisingly soft, velvety tannins. The best Turkey Flat Grenache yet, a departure in style that appears much like a GSM blend, tasted July/01 - D.C.

WINE SPECTATOR – March 31, 1999
Smooth and generous, a pretty wine, with solid black cherry and raspberry flavours, hinting at smoke on the slightly chewy finish. Best from 2000 through 2004. 2,000 cases made.
Rating: 86 Points

WINE SPECTATOR– Jan 31, 1998
Ripe, concentrated, bursting with spicy cherry and tobacco flavours, it’s intense and rich enough to achieve a sort of grandeur. Impressive now, best from 1999. 1,000 cases made.
