Guys like Alex, Sierra Reed from Reed Wines, Andre and Silena from Bondar, Pete Schell from Spinifex, and, Julian and Bernice from Ministry of Clouds are inspiring me to revisit the Barossa and McLaren Vale, proving that wines that it is possible to make stunning, ever so drinkable wines from the regions.
Very subtle and complex on the nose with leaf, rose petal, plum, strawberry and light nutmeg character. Full body, dense and rich yet lively and toned. The fine tannins give form and structure to this wine, not to mention energy. Drink now or hold. Screw cap. 95 Points jamessuckling.com
A deep color foreshadows a wealth of concentrated raspberries and red fruit on the nose, as well as poached cherries and swish, cedary oak influence that's well fitted. There are some darker blackberries too and a swathe of mountain herbs and chalky edge. This is super pure. The palate's glossy and crunchy, offering striking primary purity for now and impeccable balance. There are a lot of sweet but tart red fruits within the raspberry/cherry spectrum, and smoothly rendered tannins provide a lot of depth and detail. Tangy, juicy and very bright acidity. Full of concentrated flesh and pulpy grenache goodness. Superb wine. Drink now and through to 2025+.
