94 / 100"Wonderfully flavoursome and instantly attractive, the bouquet shows blackberry, blueberry, vanillaand cedar characters with nuances of black olive and violet. It is rich, delectable and velvety on the palate, and offers loads of delicious flavours. The wine is fleshy and supple, and finishessuperbly long and tasty. At its best: now to 2024. Rated 5 Stars. 94 points"

"It’s a little cloudy, but has great colour. Spice, boysenberry, almost a gin botanicals perfume too, brown bread and chocolate wrappers. Medium bodied, fresh and perky, bright crushed berry flavour and spice, beautiful lightly furry tannin, settled acidity, and an aromatic and commanding finish of fine length. This has drinkability, value and complexity all sewn up. Strong recommendation."

Tasting Notes
The Woods Crampton reds have become synonymous with great value drinking and the 2016 Woods Crampton Barossa Valley Shiraz is no exception. The nose is bright and expressive with aromas of dark berries, ripe blood plans and exotic spice. The palate is supple and fruit driven but impressively elegant with spicy, dark berry fruit flavours wrapped in fine tannins before a finish given definition by whole-bunch derived grip and fresh acidity.
