Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
With a bit of bottle age, this Shiraz-led red blend has really settled into itself. Luscious berry and plum fruit mingles with florals, pencil lead, spice and a polish of vanillin oak. The palate is succulent, with a satiny texture tempered by a soft line of savory tannins. It’s glossy and polished, maybe from the high-end oak, but it also elegant, harmonious and hugely likable.

Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2017 Keyneton Euphonium is 62% Shiraz, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot, aged in 19% new oak hogsheads (85% French, 15% American). The oak imparts a bit of smokiness and mocha overtones to the nose, but this is a largely fruit-driven effort, with ripe cherries, boysenberries and blackberries touched with hints of eucalyptus and sage. It's medium to full-bodied, smooth and streamlined on the palate, with a soft dusting of tannins and lingering berry and herb flavors on the finish.
