Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of fruit from Padthaway and McLaren Vale, the 2017 Henry's Drive Shiraz carries savory overtones of cracked pepper, black olives and roasted meat on the nose, then delivers ripe, succulent flavors of blackberries and blueberries on the full-bodied palate. Creamy and ripe in feel, it finishes lush and long.

Wine Spectator
Wild blackberry and plum flavors are plump and spicy, with notes of Earl Grey tea, black licorice and cigar box. Shows plenty of harmony among the muscular tannins, finishing with ample grip. Drink now through 2032.
Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
