James Halliday
Reviewed July 2021Follows Bailey Carrodus's method of co-fermenting small amounts of viognier, marsanne adding floral notes, and mataro adding spice. It's another exquisite wine from '17, capturing all the senses immediately you assess the bouquet and palate. It's only just into medium-bodied territory, but it's mouthwatering in its intensity, red fruits flying high like a gaudy scarlet kite. Special.

James Suckling
A firm and silky-tannined red that has such polish, richness and beauty. Lots of spice and fruit-tea character, as well as plums and berries. A blend of 95% shiraz, 3% mataro, 1% viognier and 1% marsanne. Drink now. Screw cap.

Wine Advocate
The wines of Yarra Yering are prized in Australia for their luminescent fruit profiles and masterful handling of tannins both in the vineyard and at the hands of winemaker Sarah Crowe. At five years of age, this 2017 Dry Red No 2 (Rhone Blend) has done nothing but settle into its own self: it has retained the seductive and silky flow of flavor in the mouth that it had on release and shows that time is not bothering it. Almost suspended in animation, the wine verges on unevolved—it has barely moved through its first stage of development. What a superstar. Awesome. (EL)

Vinous
The 2017 Dry Red Wine No. 2 is a beautifully composed blend of Syrah, Viognier, Mourvèdre and Marsanne. It's bright and energetic, radiating with cranberry and white pepper aromas, topped by meaty notes in strong support. Vibrant, fleshy and mouth-filling, layers of savory, earthy tones and aged spices emerge before an ethereal finish of exceptional length. (AH)
