Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2013 Shiraz Cabernet Anaperenna is intensely scented of cassis, crushed blackberries and black cherries with hints of cedar, cloves and anise. Full-bodied and full-throttle on the flavors, it fills the mouth with primary black fruits and baking spices, supported by grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long.

Wine Spectator
Juicy and velvety, with aromatic caraway and Earl Grey tea details surrounding a core of kirsch and plum preserve flavors. Concentrated and generous, showing plenty of focus. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine & Spirits
The tobacco richness of cabernet sauvignon fleshes out this peppery, licorice-scented shiraz (84 percent of the blend). Spend some time with the glass and the dark chocolate tannins begin to reveal more complexity, yielding floral notes, brightening to red currants as it opens. Grown in Barossa’s Ebenezer district, this wine includes fruit from vines ranging between 30 and 130 years old. Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA

The first Glaetzers settled in the Barossa Valley in 1888 after emigrating from Brandenburg, Germany. From here, they settled in a country town called Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley where they started their new life in Australia. The family were some of the earliest recorded viticulturalists in the Barossa Valley and Clare Valley and the current generation is firmly entrenched in the family wine business.
Winemaking patriarch Colin Glaetzer established his own label to create wines he's passionate about - limited quantities of benchmark Barossa Valley reds. The birth of Glaetzer Wines signalled a new era for Colin's family which boasts more than its fair share of winemakers. The clan includes Colin, his oenology-trained wife Judith, twin brother/winemaker John, and five winemakers among the couple's three sons and their wives.
With the 2004 vintage, Ben Glaetzer took over winemaking at Glaetzer and brought his own flagship wines, Amon Ra and Godolphin, into the fold. Young Glaetzer has implemented many changes at the winery, particularly with regard to harvesting upon physiological ripeness vs. analysis, longer skin contact and the use of the highest possible quality oak barrels.
