Comment: "A contrast of cool, foresty fruit and spicy alcohol, this feels breezy and bold. A grilled steak will tone its warmth." 89 Points

Title:   Robert Parker - 2003 Pikes 'The Assemblage' SGM - 89pts
Comment: 89pts "An Australian version of a very good French Cotes du Rhone, the 2003 The Assemblage is a combination of 56% Shiraz, 27% Mourvedre, and 17% Grenache. Good peppery, kirsch-like aromas interwoven with hints of sour cherries, spice, and resin are found in this medium-bodied, richly fruity, supple, fleshy red. It should be drunk over the next 2-3 years."

Title:   Tanzer's IWC - 2003 Pikes 'The Assemblage' SMG - 89pts
Comment: 89pts “Medium red. Spicy berry aromas, with deeper notes of dark chocolate and cracked pepper. Quite sweet in the mouth, with supple, round flavors of boysenberry and cassis. Picks up a fresh, juicy note of raspberry on the finish, with very fine tannins sneaking in. A pretty suave effort.”
