Brilliant wine. In fact it would be fair to say that this wine encompasses everything that is great about modern high quality Australian Grenache. It’s fine, it’s fragrant, and its strength is in its delicacy. It tastes of red berries and roses, cooling fragrant herbs, orange red and a sweet mix of earth and dried spices. It’s a light wine, and a delightful one. It crushes fennel notes into the aftertaste. It’s beautiful. 95 points.
