This is an enticing blend of Shiraz and Grenache, named in honour of Sarah Gregory, who’s one-half of the Genista label. With two years in bottle now, the SG is starting to show some aged development, but it still has one foot firmly in the primary realm, with lots of blackcurrant, raspberry, black cherry, vanilla, earth, graphite and game. The palate is rich and rewarding, and the alcohol is hidden well behind layers of flavour. With a bit more time in bottle, I think it will be even better.
