The Cutlass Shiraz

2015 Vintage

“James Halliday Wine Companion - Tim Knappstein has had a lifetime of practice, and his wines continue to reflect both his technical skills across a range of varieties and his abiding belief in reflecting terroir. This wine starts with dark cherry before moving into spiced dark plum fruit with an oompapah beat of ripe tannins. 95 Points”.

2014 Vintage

“James Halliday Wine Companion - Has retained a bright crimson-purple hue; a lively medium-bodied wine with savoury/spicy/pepper overtones to its bedrock of plummy fruit. Good to go, but will hold. 91 Points”

Honourable Mention - Matthew Jukes Top 100 Australian Wines of 2017-18 (UK)

Campbell Mattinson – The Wine Front – 92 Points

2013 Vintage

“James Halliday Wine Companion - Grown on the vineyard of Carmine and Marina Pepicelli at 480m, one of the highest in the Adelaide Hills. The hue is bright and clear, the fragrant bouquet offers a mix of plum and dark cherry fruit, with gentle touches of spice and licorice; there is a heartbeat of freshness in the wine that lifts it into top quality. 94 Points”.
