93 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
A partnership with theAdelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek growers, Burns & Fuller is a range of contemporary and fruit driven varietal wines made by Jim Zerella, Each wine is fruit-driven and balanced with a core of fruit given complexity by a barren aged component. Dark purple colour with lifted notes of red berry and blackcurrants framed by violet overtones and darker black olive aromas. The palate is dense and tightly wound with a core of sweet berried fruits – blueberry, dark plum and smoky spices – framed by
… subtle oak toast and fine tannins. A serious wine at a sensible price!
"An immensely appealing Shiraz; the fragrant bouquet shows ripe blackberry, mixed berry compote, mint chocolate and cedar characters. The palate displays excellent weight and concentration, wonderfully complemented by rich texture and rounded mouthfeel. Comfortingly delicious."
- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"A whole lot of black fruit, some mint, brown spices. It’s fleshy and sweetly black fruited, BBQ sauce flavour, choc-liquorice, ripe tannin, decent length. It does the job very well"
- Gary Walsh @ The Wine Front
