A fantastic review from Patrick Eckel, #1 Reviewer on Wine Reviewer.
He has rated the 2018 Erin Eyes Pride of Erin Riesling at 97 points!
Read what he said below:
The 2019 James Halliday Wine Companion had reviewed Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes 2016 ‘Ballycapple’ Cabernet Sauvignon and awarded it with Gold at 95 Points.
Here is what the review says:
35yo vines, matured for 20 months in French oak. Excellent deep crimson-purple hue; the bouquet suggests what the palate confirms. This is the best Steve Wiblin Cabernet Sauvignon made to date in a region that does little more than tolerate cabernet. It is rich in blackcurrant/cassis, with tannins assisting rather than quarrelling with the fruit, oak a finishing touch.
For the third year in a row the James Halliday Australian Wine Companion has awarded Erin Eyes Wines the 5 Red Star Winery award.
This is what the Halliday Wine Companion says about the 5 Red Star Rating:
Outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity. Will have at least two wines rated at 95 points or above, and had a five-star rating for the previous two years.
Where the winery name is itself is printed in red, it is a winery generally acknowledged to have had a long track record of excellence in the context of its region — truly the best of the best.
A first – the first time in 16 vintages I have made a Sangiovese that is 100% Sangiovese and proud of it!
Ready to drink and now released.
The Wine Showcase Magazine has awarded this wine a Gold Medal with 94 points.
