Campbell Mattinson from The Wine Front has reviewed Steve Wiblin’s 2014 Erin Eyes Reds. See his reviews below:
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Ballycapple Cabernet Sauvignon – Relatively light in colour in cabernet terms but high in character; call it charm. Mulberry, leather, gum leaf and blackcurrant, more or less in that order, before a dusty finish. It will mature (very) well. – 92 Points
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Malbec – Substance without being over the top. Earth, blackberry, leather and leafy spearmint characters give the wine plenty of oomph and carry. It’s clean but has some character. It drinks well now but will mature well over at least the medium term. – 92 Points
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Celtic Heritage Cabernet Shiraz – Solid red with gum leaf and blackberry flavours building good depth of flavours through the length of the palate. Tannin is well massaged into the fruit the finish has a pleasant savoury twist. – 90 Points
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Sangiovese – Light in colour and mid-weight flavour but it becomes urgent to impress on the finish. A good food wine, you might say; it has the kind of tannic insistence. Deli meat, mint, leather and cherry are the dominant flavours. Decent. – 89 Points
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Gallic Connection Cabernet Malbec Merlot – Light colour and mid-weight flavours of redcurrant and mint, predominantly. Earthen underpinnings, perhaps. Simple but pleasant to drink. – 90 Points
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Blarney Stone Shiraz – Sweet and supple with cherry-plum flavours, fresh mint and redcurrant running freely through the palate. Attractively floral too. Easy to enjoy. – 90 Points
