WINEMAKER’S NOTE
 Excellent rainfall throughout winter 
and spring provided promising 
conditions leading up to the 
season. Flowering was affected 
by wet and cold conditions that 
resulted resulting in low to very low 
yields. The cool season continued 
with summer being the coolest 
on record resulting in a very late 
harvest that was concluded without 
rain interruption. These conditions 
produced some amazing fruit with 
very high acids and concentrated 
flavours, albeit at reduced yields 
Coming from a single block we 
hand-picked just under 1 tonne 
of exceptional fruit, which was 
destemmed and fermented as 
whole berries. Matured in old 
French barriques to allow the fruit 
to sing. Named “L’Optimiste” for the 
optimistic outlook for the variety on 
our Lenswood estate.

TASTING NOTES
 Appearance: Dark cherry red.
 Aroma: Lifted and robust aromas 
of ripe plum, wild blackberry, and 
star anise. Oak plays a subtle, yet 
effective role in the background. 
The cool vineyard site shines 
prominently through this highly 
perfumed bouquet.
 Palate: A concentrated and 
intriguing wine that sits rich and 
abundant in the mouth, yet displays 
bright flavours of fresh blackberry, 
mulberry and raspberry. Classy, 
fine-grained tannins from whole 
berry vinification round out the lush 
back-palate with style.
 Summary: The 7th release of Shiraz 
from this unique site. This variety 
continues to live up to its name 
with promising signs for the future. 
Drinks well now and will do so for 
the next 10 years.

Ends in a cliffhanger
Format: Kindle
Thankfully, the next book is already available. Roxy Collins is the queen of omegaverse slow burn. This particular series is omegaverse with wolf shifters. Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Lots of suspense and trying to figure out what is true and what's really going on. I loved it! Pretty spicy once the action starts. Heats are pretty much always spicy. There is a little bit of male interaction, but not full-on shmex. Definitely recommend.

Epic!!!!
Format: Kindle
Absolutely addicted from the first page. The twists and turns, world building and character development all come together for the perfect Omegaverse. And let's not forget that spice because knots are life and these are spectacular. Running for book #2 because that cliffhanger was torturous.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
