2011 Yangarra Estate GSM

mcvale 22 april 081A blend of 41% Grenache, 31% Shiraz and 28% Mourvèdre and a testament to the value of canopy management and exposure in years that present issues of disease and rot.

Silky and agile in the mouth, pretty and perfumed on the nose. Red berries, green peppercorns, meaty nuances, beetroot, roses and earth. Some plum skins thrown in for good measure. Feminine and feline. The acidity shoulders most of the structural load. Flows like a ribbon. 90 Good
