James Halliday Wine Review
Head Wines Head Red Barossa Valley Shiraz Viognier 2008
Deep crimson-purple; it is hard to imagine how this can be declassified barrels of Head's single vineyard wines; it has plush plum and black cherry fruits, the glossy mouthfeel due in part to the viognier. Ludicrously good value. Screwcap.

Head Wines The Blonde Barossa Valley Shiraz Viognier 2008
Dense purple-crimson; has a voluminous bouquet and very luscious palate of dark berry fruits shot through with wafts of spice and pepper; tannins and oak are in appropriate balance, indeed balance is the heart of the wine. Screwcap.

Head Wines The Brunette Single Vineyard Syrah 2008
Vivid crimson sets the scene for similarly vivid aromas and flavours of cherry, raspberry and plum, the medium-bodied palate with superfine tannins, the oak balanced and integrated; 132 cases. Screwcap.

Head Wines The Blonde Stonewell Shiraz Viognier 2009
Alex Head is a new star in the firmament; this crimson-purple wine has an alluring bouquet of red and black berries complexed by nuances of warm spice and pepper, all of which come through on the medium-bodied palate; persistent, ultra-fine tannins provide great texture, structure, and length. Screwcap
