Good depth of raspberry and blackberry jam that to its credit does not cloy at all, despite being in the sweet as opposed to savoury mould. Excellent winemaking. A little spice and savouriness is there providing interest but it is still quite simple. Good length although the depth is noticeably greater on the front. Very smooth and non-cloying, its structure and mouthfeel are the wine's highlights. A very good Australian Grenache. Drink now. 17.2/20.

I showed this blind recently and it blew people away. Lovely integrated oak, that to me lifts it above simple giving it extra complexity. It's 16.5% alcohol, and no-one picked that up blind-it really is very well balanced.
This is always overlooked from Greenock Creek, yet is very consistent indeed and very fairly priced.
