Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 93 pts - The 2005 Shiraz 'Bella's Garden'? was sourced from Barossa Valley. Opaque purple in color, it offers a reticent perfume of pencil lead, blueberry, and blackberry. Supple, ripe, and with all components in harmony, this medium-bodied Shiraz has uplifting acidity, excellent depth, and a lengthy finish. It will evolve for 3-5 years and drink well through 2020. - Oct 2007
James Halliday's Wine Companion - 95 pts - Rich, fleshy fruit in abundance, but not the least jammy; indeed, borders on outright elegance; good balance and structure. Date tasted 11 Sep 2006, drink by 2020
Wine Spectator - 95 pts - Rich and complex, this is layered with green olive, mint, mineral and licorice around a plump core of black cherry and dark plum flavors, which linger on the intense and beautifully focused finish. Best from 2008 through 2017. 5,000 cases made. -HS, May 2007
