| TASTING NOTE: A blend of grenache, shiraz and mourvèdre (or mataro, as it's often called in Australia). Medium weight, with polished texture and integrated tannins yet a lively, crisp spine, delivering flavours of plum, licorice and black pepper. Score - 90 (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, April 17, 2017) |
