Tasting notes:
Bright ruby in colour, with a mixed bouquet of raspberries, red-licorice and savoury spice. The palate is delicious, displaying a fresh vibrancy and richness, finishing with excellent balance and length. A modern style Barossa Grenache that is ideal for enjoyment upon release but with careful cellaring will mature beautifully for the medium term.

96 Points – Decanter (Olivia Mason)
Glittering with bright fruit energy and striking mountain herb fragrance. Fleshy and plush with a refreshing luminous acidity and fine-seamed oak tannins. Long and pleasurable.
95 Points – James Suckling (Ryan Montgomery)
Complex layers of wild raspberries, blueberry bush, tobacco leaves, cedar and spices. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, showing notes of cassia bark, dark cherries, potpourri and dried herbs. Wonderfully plush and lifted with a underlying power.
95 Points – The Vintage Journal (Andrew Caillard MW & Angus Hughson)
Deep crimson. Intense raspberry strawberry liquorice aromas with roasted walnut notes. Generously concentrated wine with abundant strawberry raspberry fruits and fine chocolaty tannins. Some flinty/ graphite/ herbgarden notes at the finish. Very big presence with lovely density and vigour.
