Reviews of the 2009 Krinklewood Shiraz below;

"Biodynamic shiraz from the Hunter Valley; a combination of words you don’t hear overly often. Maybe this lacks some oomph but it’s a wine of sure-footed style. It’s easy to admire. Plums, cherries, earth and polished, smoky oak. Excellent combination. Feels fresh and pure and clean. Feels lively. Refreshing acidity plays a keen part. Classy. Rated : 91 Points Alcohol: 13.9% Price: $40 Closure: Screwcap Drink: 2013 - 2017+"- Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.

"Good hue, of medium depth; aromas of leather and earth are manifestly regional, the medium-bodied palate likewise; had the misfortune to be tasted after a 15.5% Heathcote pressings shiraz, but is elegant and well balanced. 90 Points. Drink By: 2017 Price: $40.00 Date Tasted: 29 Dec 2010 Alcohol: 13.9%" - James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
