Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown in Oct. 2014: "Made with fruit sourced from McLaren Vale, Barossa and Adelaide Hills and aged 12 months in large, old oak barrels, the deep garnet-purple colored 2011 St. Henri Shiraz puts forward quite a Peppery, meaty and earthy nose enveloping a good core of fresh cassis, mulberries and warm plums plus a touch of cinnamon A little earthy, lean and woody in the mouth and framed by medium levels of chewy tannin, it is still tight though finishes long . This was a tough vintage compared to 2010 and it shows in this wine."
