Geoff Merrill Bush Vine SGM 2019

Another version of this blend, this time with Shiraz dominant. The wine spends almost two years in a mix of older American and French oak puncheons and already has a number of years in the cellar, to its advantage. All of this combines to make this extremely good value. A deep, blood red hue, the nose provides a wide array of aromatics, including mulberries, tobacco leaves, charcuterie, chocolate and coffee grinds. There is juicy acidity running the full journey, an attractive supple texture, fine tannins and impressive length. A thoroughly enjoyable McLaren Vale red which will drink beautifully over the next ten years.
