Craggy Range Sophia 2013

Raymond Chan 20/20 points!
"This 'Sophia' has remarkable vitality and life, with vibrant primary fruit, great richness and structure. It will age 15+ years."  Raymond Chan, 2015.

Bob Campbell MW 98 points!
"Lifted aroma with pronounced plum and floral characters. A complex array of flavours on the palate including plum, dark berry, chocolate, spice and a hint of violet. Gorgeous wine with plenty of weight, a silken texture and real energy. Will be very long-lived."  Bob Campbell, 2015

Huon Hooke 96 points!
"Deep red colour with a strong purple tint. The bouquet is big on dried herbs and blackcurrant, reminding more of Cabernet than Merlot perhaps. The palate lush in blackberry, cassis fruit and soft, fine-grained tannins. The fruit ripeness is spot-on. A very stylish, polished red blend of superb balance and refinement."  Huon Hooke, 2015

Wine Front 95+ points!
"A fine-grained wine. It's as if it's been deep-etched with a fine tip. It's powerfully built, minerally, chocolatey, sliced with gravel and blackcurrant, and lifted by a variety of florals. A rumble of tannin leads the flavours into the future. A long termer, without question." Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front 2015
