  April 17, 2022 - ABV: 14.5%. The fruity nose explodes from the glass right after the wine was poured, showing notes of ripe raspberries, plums, and a hint of cherry cola. There's plenty of acidity to keep the fruitiness dancing on the palate while pushing for a lengthy finish. This is still a pretty young wine so I'd wait at least another 5 years before opening it, but if you're impatient, I'm sure it'll show beautifully with some quick decanting.

  February 13, 2020 - I rarely drink Australian Grenache, and this blend offers plenty of intrigue and value. Ripe mixed fruits ranging from berries to plum with some floral overtones and something barrel influenced akin to rubber (a novel aroma). Nice med+ tannins are well-tuned with the body and acidity. A clear value.

  February 2, 2020 - Well balanced blend drinking well now though has the potential for further aging. Not sure if it would matter, though. About 15 minutes of air and it’s quite good now. Will see if I notice any change on day, two.
