Kinsfolk by Mitchell Grenache 2017

The Clare Valley is not well known for Grenache but this is an attractive version with a couple of years under its belt. It is ripe, generous and open for business with fleshy sweet red cherry and raspberry fruits plus a whisper of oak. It is then dry and supple with silky tannins, and also takes on a more savoury side with earth, spice and tobacco complexity. It’s is easy drinking red but with good character and balance and well suited to fancy hamburgers.
