94 James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion

"An 80/15/5% blend of whole bunches from adjoining blocks in the Gomersal district, open-fermented , hand-plunged and matured for 12 months in used French barriques. Has more depth and structure than most Barossa Valley GSMs, right up there with McLaren Vale; red and black cherry fruits ride shotgun, supported by perfectly pitched tannins." Reviewed 7/2014

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

Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2012 Menagerie of the Barossa Grenache Shiraz Mataro presents aromas of warm mulberries, kirsch and red currant jelly highlighted by hints of garrigue, dried herbs and pepper. Medium to full-bodied with mouth-filling red berry preserve, pepper and baking spice flavors, it has a medium level of velvety tannins and a lively acid line carrying the fruit to a long finish. Drink it now to 2018+.

90 Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media

(80% grenache, 15% shiraz and 5% mataro): Bright purple. Aromas of red and dark berries, licorice and rose are complicated by a peppery nuance and a hint of allspice. Dense, round and supple, with very good depth to its flavors of black raspberry and cola. Shows an appealing sweetness on the finish, which features plush tannins and a hint of smokiness.
