Fox Creek Scores in the Wine Advocate

The Wine Advocate is a US publication featuring independent consumer advice by wine critic Robert M Parker Jnr. The guide has no advertising and publishes in excess of 7,500 wine reviews per year. The ratings given
to the wines utilise Parker’s 50-100 point quality scale and have a significant effect on the economic performance of the reviewed wine.

Parker has recently delegated tastings for most of the world’s wine regions to a team of critics, including Dr Jay Miller who reviews Australian wines. Collectors often purchase highly rated wines in the hopes the Advocate
scores will increase the value of the wine. With all of the above in mind, it is no wonder that wineries wait with anticipation for the release of the publication.

Recently, Fox Creek’s wines received the following scores.
90 points – 2007 JSM
90 points – 2006 Short Row
91+ points – 2006 Reserve Shiraz

Using Robert Parker’s Rating System, wines rated 90-95 are considered an outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. Parker considers these to be terrific wines.
