PIKES 'THE HILL BLOCK' CABERNET 2005
A stylish cabernet from the relatively cool Clare, with hints of eucalypt and bright blackberries and earthy blackcurrents, with undertones of chocolate spice and mineral. It has a velvety texture and fine-grained tannis. Delicious now and plenty to develop.

PIKES 'THE HILL BLOCK' CABERNET 2004
Australian red wines are a dime a dozen, but here's one with more finesse than most. It's a big, fruity red but thankfully devoid of too much oak. And it will age well, if you can resist drinking it now.

PIKES CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2001
“Scents of eucalyptus and mint provide a cooler tone to contrast with the dark, raisined flavors of fruit. The wine finishes fresh, with a grape skin flavor that lasts, ready for a grilled sirloin”.
88 Points. Joshua Green – WineTalk, February 2005.
