Warm sand meets pure, lifted red fruits — raspberry coulis, redcurrant, Bing cherry and mashed strawberry — with white pepper, violets and baking spice adding savoury interest. Dried herbs and red liquorice notes emerge with air. The palate is medium-bodied but weightier than the perfume suggests, remaining decidedly red-fruited. Raspberry, red rose, earth and cocoa powder flow through the mouth. The tannins are fine-but-firm and grainy, while a latent surge of acidity freshens a long finish. Pretty and lifted, yet packing real punch, this rings true to the modern McLaren Vale Grenache renaissance style. A very strong release.
