95 Points Robert Parker
A compelling offering, the 1999 Shiraz/Cabernet The Signature (56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Shiraz) possesses a dense purple color along with a sweet, multilayered personality revealing aromas and flavors of earth, blackberries, cassis, and vanilla. This offering spent 22 months in a combination of both new and used French and American oak. With considerable authority and power, it requires 2-3 more years of bottle age, and should last for 12-15 years.

95 Points James Halliday
Cassis, chocolate and raspberry fruit aromas and flavours fill a wine with excellent structure, weight, texture and balance; a long lingering fruit-driven finish shows the deft use of oak. Drink to 2020.
