88 Points - Cameron Douglas MS
"Aromas and flavours of dark plums and cherry flesh, there’s a light mineral earth quality and some baking spice moments. Dry with moderate tannins and medium+ acid line, and coupled with the core of red fruit flavours delivers a balanced even wine across the palate. Best drinking from 2023 through 2026" Cameron Douglas

4 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"
Brightly fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows sweet plum, dried herb, mixed spice and toasted almond notes. The palate displays succulent fruit flavours with smooth texture and rounded mouthfeel, finishing juicy and finely dry. Friendly and gently expressed. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim

The Sandpiper range is named after the migratory bird which visits the ThornClarke vineyards annually from the northern hemisphere - something of a reminder of the tenacity and commitment which is required for long term viticulture.

A deep purple colour with rich plum and blackberry aromas, this Merlot is enticing and perfumed in style. Ripe berries and Christmas spice are highlights on the palate. Medium bodied and plush the wine finishes with long, smooth tannin and complex, savoury oak notes.
