"The 2008 Wallace is a blend of 80% Shiraz from 45-130 year old vines and 20% bush vine Grenache from 75 year old vines located in the prime Ebenezer district of Barossa. Yields were a meager 1.5 tons per acre. Dark ruby-colored, it has an alluring bouquet of smoke, violets, incense, black cherry, and blueberry. The wine has a bit of underlying structure, medium to full-body, plenty of sweet fruit, but a slightly compact finish. This pleasure-bent effort is an outstanding value." 90/100 R.Parker
"A touch of grenache (20 per cent) blended with shiraz is almost always a good thing. Especially if the grenache you're using is of high quality. 2008 release: Juicy, dark, full‐bodied and very, very easy to slurp. One of those 'dangerous'
kinds of wine ‐ you just keep wanting another glass. It has flavours of dark cherries and sundry berries, with vanilla, clove‐like touches from oak. Walsh called it 'plump' in the
cuddly and warm sense of the word. Drink: 2010‐2014"
