James Halliday – The Australian Wine Companion: March 2006
Made from 60- to 140-year-old vines by winemaker Chris Ringland and the Barossa icon wine producer Robert O’Callaghan, Rockford’s 2003 Shiraz Basket Press exhibits a beautiful minerality, a lovely floral note to its blackberry and cassis fruit, and hints of pepper, old oak, and garrigue. This complex, full-bodied effort possesses power, richness, and, much like its proprietor, considerable personality. Drink it over the next 15+ years.
