"The name derives from a verbal corruption of "hot as hell" by early settlers, a fair description of 45C days. For once vintage rain did not force early picking, and the '09 semillons have an unusually intense citrus framework which offers great drinking now without threatening a sure-fire, 10 year future, thanks to the acidity and the screwcap." Rating: 94. James Halliday - The Weekend Australian Magazine - 29th August 2009
"Intense, aromatic and lingering, it finishes a little softer than others. A terrific future". Rating: 93. Ken Gargett - Courier Mail Qweekend - 31st October 2009
"The Hell Hole name refers to the hot, dry country that is the Hunter Valley. Rhys Eather has packed a lot of fruit into this '09: plenty of lime and lemon citrus, even grapefruit on the palate. Great texture and a sparkling crisp acid finish." 93 points. Nick Stock - Wine 100 - February 2010
