Wine Advocate 93
 
“This is one of the most brilliantly run wineries in Australia” from Robert Parker Jnr’s Wine Advocate, who has regularly scored Kilikanoon’s wines up to 98 points, and the coveted 5 red stars from James Halliday’s authoritative Australian Wine Companion. These, as well as international awards such as Best Shiraz (worldwide) at the 2008 International Wine Challenge for Kilikanoon’s Oracle Shiraz helped Kilikanoon to spread its wings rather more quickly than may be expected from a young winery. This winery has been awarded 2013 Winery of the Year by James Halliday with 17 wines scoring above 92 points.
 
The 2016 Covenant Shiraz offers notes of woodsmoke, plum, black cherry and boysenberry. It's a big, full-bodied wine, yet it remains silky and surprisingly elegant, with a fine, lingering finish. Drink it over the next decade or so.
