Russell & Suitor Alejandro Saperavi 2024
$35, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Murray Darling.
This is a wine of deliciousness and difference. It’s definitely a wine that you should put on your radar. It tastes of bold dark berries, seaweed, dark chocolate, rust and peppercorns, and at all times it feels a) generously fruited, b) dark and satisfying, and c) characterful. This wine will win a lot of people over. 93 points.
