Fragrant in kirsch, spice, and minerality. Zesty and youthful, a little pinched at first but opening up. Great acids and some tannin gives nice structure.

Killer value Grenache - char and eucalyptus, graphite, with soft blackberry and black cherry notes. Acid driven, under ripe style - awesome stuff.

Really rich, more so than I typically like from Grenache, but the spice is nice and structure is well hung, with roasted and grilled meats this is a dandy.

Full of tough leather and cedar, this is a savoury wine with a formidable tannic presence. Quite brooding straight from bottle - left for a couple of hours in a decanter and this would be very good.

Super old vines. The vineyard is a beach. This pup could age for long time.

Bigger style wine here, but deftly done. Great fruit with eucalyptus, spice, earth and med acidity. Nice Aussie wine.

Too astringent - had high hopes, a bit disappointed.
