97 POINTS - Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion
Fruit off Block 31 from the highest section - 210m and the deepest sand for the ?46 planted bush vines. 50% whole berries, wild yeast and on lees in used French oak for 1 year. No need for winemaking accoutrements - a pure expression of that discrete spot. Perfectly modulated, the tannins enmeshed with the fruit from whence they came, excellent fruit yet the most savoury and earthy toned and deepest of the three Grenaches.
97 POINTS Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2014 Grenache High Sands is bloody, floral and ferruginous. The palate is sapid, ample and wide, with great nuance. The season was hot, but the wine is energetic and fresh and has such tannic presence in the mouth. This is a super wine. This is proof, along with the 2011 (cold and wet) that it is a mistake to write off vintages, especially in the case of a single-vineyard wine, when one would do well to consider vintage variation merely as a lens through which to view the vineyard DNA. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
96 POINTS - Gary Walsh - The Wine Front
Beautiful fragrance here – fresh field roses, raspberry, aniseed and dried mint, almost a chocolate thing going on too. Medium bodied, gentle sweep of sweet fine grained tannin, plump red berries lend succulence, but it’s not confected or gooey in any sense. Dusty and spicy, great length of flavour, with earthy tannin grounding it and pushing it long. Incredibly good wine. Hard to choose between the 2013 and 2014. The former with maybe more length and impact, the latter all grace and charm. 96+ points, though could even twist my arm to 97.
