By Campbell Mattinson - The Winefront

Longhop Shiraz has fast established a reputation as one of Australia's best value reds. This 2009 version is up there with the best of them.

Dense colour, dense flavour, lakes of tannin and a good, dry, long finish. Remarkable that this sells for $15. Lovely clip of fresh, slippery, ceday oak (French and American) matches beautifully to minty, blackberried, smoky fruit flavour. There are some sweet, raisiny characters too, forming part of a delicous parade. Very impressive wine. Rated: 92 Points
______________________________

Into its fifth vintage, fruit sourced from Gawler River vineyards grown in rich alluvial river loam, Angle Vale region provides the old vine component sited in the famous red clay over broken limestone while Bibaringa at an altitude of 280 metres has vineyards clinging to thin windswept soils perched on quartz outcrops. Whole berry open ferment, hand plunged, basket pressed, 14 months in French and American hogsheads, bottled unfiltered, what a beauty!

Campbell Mattinson review
Massive wine. Pitch - black colour. Rich with syrupy flavours of coal, blackberry, tar and minerals and full - on from the first attack of flavour to the last long, warm finish. An epic wine. It has a good hit of tannin to, and wave after wave of dark, concentrated fruitiness. Australia's most powerful wine under $20.
93 Points

Gary Walsh review
It's slightly mentholated and packed with blackberries and cherries, a little shake of pepper and some sexy vanillin 'catnip' oak - fragrant and tarry at once. Full bodied and mouth enveloping. it combines plush dark fruit with a grainy grab of ripe chewy tannin and a long (slightly) warm finish. The complexity and satisfaction delivered here for the price is second to none. Killer value.

LONGHOP 2005
OLD VINE RESERVE
CABERNET SAUVIGNON 65%
SHIRAZ 35%
ADELAIDE PLAINS
Longhop is a very Australian sounding name and we have made a very Australian type of wine. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, this was made from vines planted in the 1950s, which as fate would have it, escaped the vine pull scheme of the '80s.Very low cropping and picked ripe, full of flavour and only 160 dozen produced. The end result is a deeply concentrated, complex, flavoursome wine to cellar for up to a decade and like most things Australian, will only get better with age.This is RESERVE quality, this is LONGHOP

We're drinking it now or cellar for 5-7 years.
