Great reviews from the acclaimed Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate

Reviews by Jay Miller, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
30 June 2011

Rutherglen Estates 2008 Red (Shiraz Durif)
'A blend of 85% Shiraz and 15% Durif (Petit Sirah), the 2008 Shiraz Durif has a very deep garnet-purple colour and pronounced notes of blackbery preserves, warm blueberries and menthol with a hint of dried bay leaf. The full bodied palate has very crisp, slightly disjointed acidity with plenty of juicy, berry flavoured fruit, a medium level of chewy tannins and a medium-long finsh. Drinking now, it should remain good through 2014. 86 points'

Rutherglen Estates 2008 Durif
'Very deep purple-black in colour, the 2008 Durif (Petit Sirah) offers pronounced notes of prunes, dried mulberries and spice cake with a whiff of tilled loam. Full bodied and generously fruited, the palate yields very crisp acid and a medium level of velvety tannins, finishing long and spicy. Drink it now to 2016. 91 points'

Rutherglen Estates NV Muscat
'Medium amber-brown in colour, the NV Muscat displays intense notes of walnuts, treacle, sultanas and ginger cake over preserved mandarin peel and manuka honey. Very full bodied, sweet, rich and viscous, it has just enough balanced acid and a long spicy finish. Drink it now. 92 points'
