"A blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Grenache, the 2004 Brave Faces is a fruit-forward, exuberant offering that Michael Twelftree describes as “one of the whores in my line-up.” A luscious red revealing abundant amounts of cherries, raspberries, and currants intermixed with notions of licorice and spice, it is about as seductive as a Syrah/Grenache blend can be. Since only 20% new oak was used, the fruit is its dominant characteristic. Drink it over the next 3-4 years."

"Smooth, velvety and nicely packed with rich blackberry, cherry, licorice and pepper flavors that keep singing on the long, full-voiced finish. Drink now through 2012. 1,500 cases made. (HS)"

"Good colour; once again, no reduction evident; a range of blackberry, raspberry, plum and spice flavours; fine, silky tannins; overall elegance and length."
