Return to Aus; 6/23/2019-7/5/2019 (Adelaide, South Australia wine regions, Tassie, Yarra, etc.): This wine seems to completely fit the Mona spot around it. It is novel and different and flavors that I've never quite seen before in a wine and yet they are well done and delicious. Interesting blend - 36% Pinot Noir, 29% Shiraz, 21% Cab Sauv, 10% Cab Franc, 4% Riesling. Nope, that last one is not a typo. There is a Riesling as a blending grape. This is some combination of those crisp leaves on a fall day and spices and red fruits. A touch of drying tannin towards the end. I really enjoyed it and appreciate the novelty of the approach and the quality with which it was done.

Bright nose of raspberry, blackberry, saffron, and nutmeg. Palate is dominated by bright, tight acidity. Well-balanced, but the fruit is not strong. Hints of strawberry, blackberry, clove, and mint.
