Kay's are specialist traditional red wine makers utilising grapes from their own 22-hectare Amery Vineyard.

A rich, round, soft, voluptuous, fruit driven Shiraz with a hint of confectionery sweetness in the background. A very approachable full bodied combination of blueberries, plum, Ribena, mocha chocolate, spice box, vanilla and pepper fill the palate with pleasurable flavours and the balanced soft tannin finish has both length and persistence.

Professional Reviews

92/100	The Wine Advocate
One of Australia's most traditional winemakers, Colin Kay fashions old style, high quality, distinctive Australian reds. Tarry, chewy, and fleshy, the 2003 Shiraz Hillside has a bit more punch (15% alcohol) as well as a sappy character that is not present in the regular bottling. It is a broad, savory, expansively flavored, full-bodied Shiraz.
WA, Robert Parker Jr. Issue: #161

92/100	Wine Companion
Good colour; soft, round and rich; gentle plum, mocha and vanilla; everything moulded by 2 years in oak. Shares the ultimate retro-style label with Block 6.
, James Halliday Issue: Jan 2006

90/100	Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Ruby red. Exotic aromas of blackberry, smoked meat, vanilla, mocha and candied licorice. Fat and velvety in texture, with impressively sweet dark berry and plum flavors retaining energy and precision through the finish. Tannins are fine-grained. As in most recent vintages, an intriguing, sexy wine.
ST, Josh Raynolds Issue: Aug 1 2006

85/100	Wine Spectator
Bright and chewy, with an earthy edge to the blackberry and white pepper flavors.
WS, Harvey Steiman Issue: Oct 15 2006
