"Offering black/blueberry intensity together with spicy oak, cocoa, clove and olive characters, it’s concentrated and persistent on the palate with density and excellent depth, while remaining plush and opulent. Wonderfully rich and structured, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2021

"Near opaque in colour, the intense aromas move through chocolate, damson plums, black fruits, licorice and cloves. Supple texture, fine length, good acidity and excellent balance. Some black cherry and mulberry notes emerge on the palate and the oak is impeccably integrated. Enjoyable now but will cellar well for a decade. Drink: 2022 - 2032" Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot

"Impressive colour in the glass, deep, dark and youthful. Sweet and fleshy aromas of plum, vanilla, panforte, graphite and creamy oak, quite primary. The flavours are dark and brooding, blood plum, dark cherry, there's some crunchy, tangy rhubarb like acidity as well as firm tannins, all working well with some nutty, aromatic oak. A touch of warmth from the alcohol, but the wine carries it pretty well. 2021 - 2036" Aaron Basher, Real Review, Aug 2021

"Blackberry, blueberry and blood plum fruit is subtly lifted by sensitive inclusion of a dash of Viognier. Finely structured tannins seamlessly unite fruit and French oak. It loses momentum on the finish, but lacks nothing in balance and integration" Halliday Wine Companion 2022

Deep red with vibrant purple hues. Aromas of rich dark fruit; blackberry, dark plum and blueberry with notes of dark chocolate, graphite and cedary spice. The palate is driven by layers of primary fruits; mulberry, blackberry and dark plum, with the exuberant fruit carrying all the way through the palate. Subtle French oak notes of cedar and spice add support and a complex lift to the palate. A wine with soft, ripe and mouth filling tannins with a long rich finish.

A dry winter and spring restricted vine vigour leading into vintage with small crops yielding intense flavours and aromas. Vintage went according to plan with warm to hot conditions with no rain meaning that conditions were perfect for picking the fruit at its optimum. The wines immediately showed a depth of colour and expressions of fruit that the Barossa Valley is synonymous with.

The Shiraz was harvested at night from our estate vineyard and the Viognier handpicked during the day from a Northern Barossa vineyard. It was then co-fermented in 6-tonne open-top fermenters for a period of 7 days. During this fermentation period, the wine was pumped over by hand twice daily to extract flavour and colour. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed off into a combination of new (20%) and old (80%) French oak barrels and matured for 20 months. The wine has had minimal filtration and fining prior to bottling.

Hand size mighty grinder
Color: Silver single
Hi- I think this is a good grinder although to this point I ground about 2/3 of the glass chamber full of a good quality peppercorn. I like a coarse grind and this device gives that grind consistently. I like the cover and it's fit. The overall look is pleasing and think it's a good bang for the buck. It's easy to use and adjusts to your personal needs or wants. If your debating this device and am worried if you'll get years of use I know I don't force it but rather learn to allow the tool to do the work. I think it will last me for quite a while and even if I have to replace it once a year it's a well built unit that you can enjoy using. If you have arthritic hands and use this for hard products like fresh peppercorns or coarse Himalayan salt then treat yourself to a good rechargeable grinder (or better yet ask your children to get you one for all the great meals you make for them & have made for them !) Thanks for the read. I hope this helps. Greybeard

At Last! A Grinder That Can Grind Flaxseed!!!
Color: Silver single
I'm so excited -- my search for a manual flaxseed grinder is over! After spending countless hours -- nay, days & weeks! -- searching for a simple, manual spice grinder that worked well for flaxseeds, I found this little $7 gem! Just got it today & immediately tested it out... with GREAT results! At first I was disappointed to see that the grinding mechanism is plastic, but it sure did the job! It has a little dial to adjust the coarseness, which is nice. Also love that the container is glass; and larger than I thought. Easy to refill & I expect it'll be easy to clean. I think the ease of grinding will depend on how tightly or loosely you adjust the dial; at its tightest, I couldn't twist it at all, but loosening it allowed me to use it easily and it still gave me a fine grind. Highly recommend it... can't beat the value!

Pepper grinder works as expected, I'm concerned about its long-term durability.
Color: Silver single
Good product, grounds pepper as expected. I was almost surprised that the grinder is plastic rather than metal. I'm not sure of its long-term durability

Perfect
Color: Silver single, Color: Silver single
Excellent salt grinder This ceramic grinder surprised me for its good quality. The design is very elegant, with the stainless steel part and the glass jar that allows you to easily see how much product is left inside. It feels solid and well built. The ceramic grinding mechanism works very smoothly and crushes the salt evenly. In addition, it is easy to refill and clean, which is very practical to use in the kitchen every day. It has a perfect size: it does not take up much space but has good capacity. Without a doubt it is a very useful and beautiful product for the table or the kitchen. I totally recommend it!
