94 James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion

Bright, clear crimson-purple; a remarkably elegant wine in the context of the Clare Valley, brimming with fresh red berry fruits, finely drawn tannins and fresh acidity, oak incidental to the main play, alcohol totally irrelevant.

90 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 “Eastside” Shiraz is a little mute at the moment, offering a delicate to moderate intensity of red cherry and blackcurrant aromas with hints of black pepper, anise and black truffles. Full bodied with a good amount of taut, primary berry flavors and very crisp acid, it has a medium level of grainy tannins and long finish. Drinking well now, it should keep to 2015+.
