Far plumper and juicier than its Great Southern sibling. It’s a fascinating exercise to taste the two single vineyard wines side by side.
Cuddly plums and blackberry, licorice and a hint of vanilla with regional gum and bay leaf in tow. A ferrous element contributes some gravitas. Only a suggestion of spice. Gravelly tannin and unforced acidity. Not a statuesque wine or one which I would look to cellar myself. I think the wash of ‘open for business’ primary flavours will lend themselves to enjoyment over the next five or so years. 92
