  May 10, 2023 - This is an excellent Grenache. Medium/full bodied with some oomph but still taut and nervy with a bit of crunch. Colour is excellent and nose beguiling and complex with red fruits, herbs. Red, black and blue fruits. Some twiggy characters. Finish is super savoury with a fruit twist. Top notch.

  April 21, 2020 - Looks like Pinot and initially smelt like Pinot. Definitely a red that, at this youthful stage, benefits from breathing, showing much better on day two. Pale garnet to darker ruby core.
  
  A mix of savoury (earthy/dried herb) and floral red fruits on the nose. Almost singed cinnamon or musk stick, perhaps pointing to the 50% whole bunch component.
  
  Palate creeps up on you by stealth. Light-medium bodied but with mounting drive and persistence on the back palate, where you want it. Inner-mouth perfume. Minerally finish. An artful palate that draws you in, some intrigue in the darker fruited recesses on the back.
  
  Fascinating to see how it evolves over five to ten years. One of the Pinot-school of new Grenache. Good wine but doubt whether it’s good value at AUD80 from the winery. It’s not Yangarra, yet.

  January 11, 2020 - Nose of leather and earth, with herbal notes of tarragon and thyme. Light-bodied, with low tannin and moderate acidity. Alcohol is strong, but unobtrusive. Flavours of blackberry, black tea leaves, and tea smoke, with a hint of lychee. Double-decanted several hours before serving, which greatly improved the wine, opening it up and revealing the more subtle flavours.

  March 8, 2018 - Cellarmasters - Meet the makers - Women in wine (Wharf 2 13 Hickson Road Millers Point): Savoury red berry, quite jubey despite this - more of your compote rather than jam, juicy on the palate with red berry spice and fine tannins.
