Schwarz META Grenache 2023
$40, 14% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley.
This is such a great drink. It’s so juicy, so well fruited, so free-flowing and just so more-ish. It tastes of red earth, red berries, potpourri and fennel, and from the first sip to the last it just screams Drink Me. 93 points.
