Reviews
Bright and on form. A translucent ruby hue abides freshness. The palate delivers. Plenty of intensity, yet detailed and febrile in a pinot-esque vibe. Bing cherry, fecund strawberry, rosehip, persimmon and tangerine. The acidity, chalky and saline, licked with tamarind and white pepper. Prosaic, but dangerously easy to drink. Best with a chill. 92 points

Glorious expression of Grenache from McLaren Vale. Take in the heady aromas and you are engulfed in spices, sage bush and a little crush pine. The medium weight palate is a bowl of raspberries and cranberry with an earthy spicy complexity. Delicious. 92 points

Big hit of raspberries and red plums, earth and herbs. It’s an appetising mix of aromas. Little jammy and salty to taste. It’s juicy, plush, sticky and a touch heady. Big mouthfeel of fine milk chocolate powder with pepper spice right at the back. It’s flavoursome and chewy. This will satisfy many. 91 points
