Oz writer Peter Forrestal names the Heartland Cabernet & Stickleback Red in Top Winter Warmer List

Winter 100 - 2004 Heartland Stickleback Red & 2004 Heartland Cabernet Sauvignon

2004 Stickleback Red: A Limestone Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Grenache under Heartland's second label. It is rich and concentrated, with ripe, darkberry flavours, impressive weight and silky texture, before a gentle supple finish.

2004 Heartland Cabernet Sauvignon: This is excellent value for a big, juicy and smooth wine that's easy drinking with some mint and eucalyptus characters, so you know it's Australian.
