Oliver's Taranga Vineyards

2005 Oliver's Taranga "HJ Reserve" Shiraz
A perfect example of less is more, a vibrant wine that caresses the mouth with its silky, gently spicy, black fruits perfectly balanced by tannins. 95pts

2006 Corrina's Blend
Co-fermentation is logical, although seldom used;this wine may cause a rethink, as the cabernet exercises excellent control; harmonious yet firm, there is no sign of heat or dead fruit, and the tannins are perfect. 94pts

 2006 Shiraz
 Dense, deep colour; big, bold full-bodied wine that fills every corner of the mouth with black fruits, bitter chocolate, tannins and oak. 92pts

2008 Viognier
Well made, has a varietal apricot kernel bouquet with some attractive spice elements; soft acid with rich texture; to be enjoyed in its youth. 91pts

 2007 Cadenzia Grenache
Deceptively light in colour and body as a pinot, for it has clearly defined varietal character and persistence. 89pts
