Merlot Varietal Tasting (Jul/Aug 2004)
Marburg Merlot 2002
Peaty, dense prune fruit aromas with an aldehyde note. Lovely flavour weight in the mouth with soft, sweet fruits and balanced oak.

2008 James Halliday Wine Companion.

Winery Rating
Reserve Shiraz 2002
Supple, rich plum and black cherry fruit, ripe tannins plus integrated oak; a generous wine with a hint of sweetness.  Rating 90/100
Fiona's Folly 2006
Very early-picked; an interesting style fermented near to dryness; the tangy, citrusfruit offset by a touch of residual sugar making it impossible to dislike.  Extremely clever winemaking.  Chardonnay.  Rating 88/100
Opulent Organics Shiraz Rose 2006
Strong colour; considerable depth to the cherry fruit on bouquet and palate; in a crossover to light dry red style. Rating 87/100
Opulent Organics Shiraz 2006
Plenty of bright flavour, but early picking and/or excess addition of tartaric acid leaves the wine anything but opulent.  Rating 87/100
Seminary Shiraz 2005
Clean, light- to medium-bodied blackberry and plum fruit; milky tannins distract somewhat, but the wine does have a pleasant overall falvour.  Rating 87/100

2005 James Halliday Wine Companion.

Winery rating
Pioneers Pinot Noir 2000
Fine, spicy, tangy flavours; long and lingering, with great varietal character; skillfully made and a bargain. From TasmanianTamar Valley and Victorian Strathbogie Ranges grapes. Rating 92/100

2007 Mike Frost - Courier Mail

90/100  Opulent Organics Shiraz 2006
There's rich berry fruit with a dash of mint in this red made from bio-dynamically grown grapes, with restrained oak and fine tannins.  Try it now with a good steak or roast beef or tuck away for two or three years.
