95 points. Tyson Stelzer .. “In the finest vintages. the second wines of the great estates of the world make fantastic buys and great value for money. 2012 is an outstanding Cliff Edge of persistence and refinement. impressively exotic and exuberant. yet restrained and focused. There ™s great depth here of blackberry and black plum fruit. liquorice straps. pepper and exotic spice. all the while lively. effortless and medium bodied. thanks to refreshing acidity and fine. mineral tannins. I have not tasted a finer shiraz under $30 yet this year. making this a remarkable buy .. ”

Bright colour. the perfumed bouquet is filled with fresh red fruit aromas. and the medium bodied palate is equally lively with some of the French oak joining the cherry and raspberry fruit. fine tannins part of the parcel. ”
94 Points. Jeremy Pringle .. “So this would be the first Cliff Edge made solely under the stewardship of Kate Petering. Big shoes to fill but she ™s been at Mount Langi for a while now (she joined the team in 2006) and is very articulate and grounded. It has the vitality and Shiraz florals of the 2010. Trademark Langi white pepper but more complex spices besides. Fresh cherry berry fruits “ mulberry. blueberry “ judicious oak. layered tannin and slightly flinty length. Fleet of foot with meat jus complexity and a forest like note. Top drinking now but another terrific option for the cellar. ”
