93 points The Wine Front (2011 vintage)
‘The most underrated producer to come out of the west? The sheer quality is undeniable a generous, plush, near perfect balance’.
92 points Dan Murphy’s Wine Panel (2010 vintage)
‘Winemaker Clive Otto sure has made a mark at Fraser Gallop Estate. The value/quality ratio here is high. It's hard not to feel happy about drinking this one. It comes with a hit of drying tannin and decent length’.
