"It’s a Cabernet Sauvignon from Heathcote. It’s a firm, solid red built on an excellent frame of tannin, though of course the curranty fruit is the star of the show. This is ripe but fresh, powerful but not overdone. Gum leaf, cocoa and red currant characters add to the positive impression. The pitch here is perfect. It has elegance but it also has plenty of flavour" Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Oct 2020

"From a top year which has been given the heavy bottle/cork treatment by way of emphasis. A single-vineyard expression that combines all the things" Jeni Port, Wine Companion, May 2023

"Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. A mixture of ripe blackcurrant, plum and mulberry fruits greet the nostrils followed by vanillin cedar, light earth and bay leaf notes. Medium bodied and quite elegant the palate sports red to blackcurrant and mulberry flavours over plum, earthy tobacco, vanillin cedar and infusions of bay leaf. Fine grained yet sturdy tannin structure with a refined medium to long aftertaste. Drink over the next 5-6 years" Nick's Wine Merchant, Apr 2021

"A full bodied, concentrated, deep Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of black plums, cassis and smoke. Pair with cooked meats" Natalie McLean, Apr 2021

"The Angus the Bull brand was developed to be a red wine that was an ideal match for red meat. The winemaker has taken that philosophy a step further with this elegant single vineyard cabernet from Heathcote in Victoria, Australia. Made in a full-bodied style, this offers smoke, mint and dried herbal notes that add complexity to the ripe core of dark fruit flavours. Drink now to 2027" Christopher Waters, Globe & Mail Toronto, Apr 2022

Dark red with crimson hues, lifted cassis, blackcurrant leaf and cedar. Ripe black fruits accompanied by a refreshing bright palate with classic Heathcote eucalypt-mint characters. Bold generous mid-palate displaying fruit intensity and ripe textured tannins. Exceptional concentration and purity combined with restrained structure and balance. This is a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth, but will also equally reward those with the patience to cellar for a further 6 – 10 years.

The 2017 vintage in Heathcote was a standout year producing wines of intense concentration and power. Average winter rain was followed by a drier than normal spring until a well timed downpour arrived in January to set the vineyards up beautifully. A classic Heathcote summer then ensued with a near perfect run of consistently warm days and cool nights.

Planted on the prized ancient red Cambrian soils of Heathcote, viticultural practices employed at Colbinabbin Estate tend to produce very low vineyard yields. The 2017 season was no exception coming in at under 2 tonnes to the acre. Ripening was measured and unhurried with flavours and colour accumulating at a steady controlled pace and harvest taking place on 16th March.

Upon arrival at the winery the grapes were destemmed, crushed and fermented on skins in traditional open top fermenters. Hand plunged twice a day for a period of 12 days before being pressed and transferred into French Oak barrels for malolactic fermentation. A combination of medium toast tight grained Demptos & Taransaud barriques (225 L) for a maturation period of 18 months.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
