Creed is a relatively new Barossa producer that sources fruit from a number of trusted growers to producer a range of full bodied reds. Head honchos Mark and Dan have built a great winery on the slopes above the Dutschke vineyards in Lyndoch and are extremely focussed on building a sustainable "brand" (ie good wines, appropriately priced, etc etc..... = good idea).
Somewhat rare for us we consumed this bottle over two nights. Not that impressive when first tasted; slightly raw fruits mated with an acidic like burn, perhaps alcohol related, but the wine settled over time. Typical red fruits emerged with a really quite attractive gamey undercurrent. Almost Euro-like despite the fruit weight. Held up well 24 hours although the heat was still evident, albeit within check. Don't know the price yet but would be a fair buy in the mid $20s. Well worth keeping an eye on this label as they have the desire and principles to do some good things.
