Wine Advocate 97 Points

"The 2009 Velvet Glove is 100% Shiraz matured in American oak, 97% new. Very deep garnet purple colored, it gives intense warm blackberry, choco-mint, smoked bacon and marmite-toast aromas with nuances of coffee, roasted nuts and vanilla. Floral notes of violets and potpourri emerge after a few minutes. Very rich, very crisp, concentrated and full, there’s a good backbone of firm, very fine tannins and crisp acid leading into the very long and layered finish. This is a very well balanced, structured wine that should begin to open-out with 2-3 years in bottle, drinking 2014 to 2024+." (Dec 10)

Wine Spectator 96 Points

"Polished, expressive, supple and velvety, glowing brightly with blueberry, black and damson plum, with a panoply of sweet spices, all the flavors melding together with impressive integrity and persisting in a very long, complex finish. Most appealing is the deftness of the balance. Best from 2012 through 2020."

"...layers upon layers of rich fruit with raspberry, blackberry, plum, jam and spice seamlessly integrated with ample tannins to make this age gracefully for years to come. Anyone looking for a seductive, rich, viscous, and multi-layered Shiraz powerhouse should taste this wine." (Brian Pasch, corkd.com)
