Stuart McCloskey “Simply, delectable from the get-go… The bouquet provides bountiful scents of ripe blackberry, cassis, mulberry, fresh cedar, lead pencil, ink, sweet, red pepper, with fresh thyme...read more

Stuart McCloskey "The bouquet is very ‘Utopos’ and back to an intense Smörgåsbord of ripe, black fruits – blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, violet, Indian ink, anise, sweet, gingery spice, fruitcake, mint, rosemary and warmed earth...read more

Stuart McCloskey "Again, and without repeating myself, the hallmark freshness belies what is fast becoming my preferred vintage. Insanely deep, Standish darkness, wholesome, brooding...read more

Stuart McCloskey "The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is an entirely different proposition from previous releases - Barossa meets the Margaret River along with a few toes in Bordeaux. After an hour in the decanter, the bouquet opens to an evocative medley...read more

99 Points - James Halliday "It's another exquisite wine from '17, capturing all the senses immediately you assess the bouquet and palate. It's only just into medium-bodied territory, but it's mouthwatering in its intensity...read more

19/20 Points - Matthew Jukes “First, if I tell you this is the finest value Chardonnay of the year, I hope this grabs your attention. The vine age, the unique Gingin Chardonnay clone...read more

95 Points - Wine Spectator "Rich and supple, brimming with complex coffee, tobacco and dusky spice-accented ripe blueberry, dark plum and sloe flavours."

19.5 / 20 Points, Steven Spurrier "Perhaps the Latour of McLaren Vale. Songlines has a marvellous intensity of 100 year old Shiraz fruit, with none of the heaviness of some Australian Icon wines, a superb wine." 

19.5 / 20 - Matthew Jukes “Whether this beautifully complex flavour will add the half point needed to reach a perfect score in years to come is irrelevant because Riversdale Vineyard clearly has a stash of twenties buried in its soil...read more

96 Points - Erin Larkin "It has all the exoticism and romance of a hike through the mountains of Morocco, yet it, perhaps more than any other wine in the collection, speaks of the Barossa...read more
