Ratings

Falstaff August 2021

98 Only the seventh Grange ever made from 100% Shiraz. Dark chocolate envelops ripe blueberries, vanilla hovers above, as does a hint of smoke and the darkest berries—and then the chocolate reappears alongside nutmeg. The palate reveals generous, ripe, juicy fruit before bold, taut, muscular, curved, fine tannins gain the upper hand and assert themselves relentlessly. This wine has so much personality. Let it age for at least a decade and drink it until 2060.

Parker July 2021

96 Strongly marked—as always—by its 100% American oak elevage, the 2017 Grange backs up the cedar and vanilla notes with ample blackberry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied, ripe and almost decadently creamy in the mouth, it's loaded with substance, concentrated and rich, yet—in the context of Grange—relatively light and elegant-seeming on the finish. Only the seventh-ever Grange to be exclusively Shiraz, it originates from Barossa Valley (86%) and McLaren Vale (14%); Shiraz from other growing regions in South Australia failed to make the grade this year.
