DAILY TELEGRAPH -Jeff Collerson, 17th November 2009
Turkey Flat vineyard was first planted in the Barossa in 1847. This has well defined shiraz fruit intensity on the nose, under-pinned by pepper, spice and a deft balance of acid and wood. In the mouth there is a dense, persistent fruit flavour with some warmth on the long, sweet fruit finish. Has deliciously chewy tannins surrounding chocolatey oak on the finish. Drink with a rare rib eye on the bone. Rating: 91 Points
CANBERRA TIMES - October 2009 A deep and generous, soft and savoury shiraz sourced in part from vines planted in 1847. AGE - September 2009 Turkey Flat has some of the oldest Shiraz vines in Australia, planted in 1847. Its small crops provide the basis for this classical Barossa red that combines restraint, concentration and complexity. Loganberry, sweet spice, plum and cedary oak aromas introduce a sumptuous, velvety wine of great length and fine texture. Rating: 5 Stars
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE - Issue 186, December 2009
The 2007 Shiraz is purple-coloured with a nose of spice box, game, lavender, and blueberry. On the palate it is a bit compressed and sinewy in the style of the vintage. The flavours are attractive and a few years of cellaring may fill it out. Rating: 88 Points
AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION 2010 - James Halliday
Bright colour; pure Barossa fruit, with blackberry, redcurrant and fruitcake on the bouquet; the abundant sweet fruit is offset by a savoury/tarry complexity that drives the palate to its ultimately long and tannin - textured finish. Rating: 95 Points
