ROBERT PARKER - 94 POINTS
2005 Longview Block 3 Shiraz
“Made by none other than the talented Christian Canute of Rusden, the shiraz ‘Block ‘3 was aged for 22 months in large French Oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. It is purple-colored with a fragrant perfume of smoke, toast, violets, bacon, and blueberry. Thick, opulent, and layered, with suprising complexity, it somehow remains light on its feet, a trick Canute manages to pull off regurlarly at his own winery. Drink this superb Shiraz over the next 10-12 years.”
HUON HOOKE- 95 POINTS
2006 Longview Yakka Shiraz
“This gem of a shiraz was grown on Longview’s Macclesfield vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. It has intense pepper-spice and fine French oak aromas. It’s very young and a touch raw but amazingly slurpable and thoroughly delicious. Sweet, ripe, spicy cherry fruit floods the mouth, smooth as silk and almost lush. The lasting impression is of balance. It should reward cellaring for 12 plus years but it’s hard not to drink it now...".
RALPH KYTE-POWELL
2007 Longview Whippet Sauvignon Blanc
The Adelaide Hills are Australia’s answer to NZ’s Marlborough when it comes to sauvignon blanc. This likeable example opens with tropical fruit, citrus, melon and leafy aromas that are intense. The palate is succulent, with ripe flavours leading through to a dry finish.
