It smelt bloody good pouring it in the decanter, and 2 hours later it smells even better in my glass.
I'm
not a huge fan of Grenache, but the Frenchies in Rhone got it right
when they blended it with Shiraz and Mourvedre. This is luscious and
slurpable. Not sure whether to lick my chops or suck on the glass.
I
really like all these Sieber Road wines, and I sometimes wonder whether
I've been swayed to buying them by the very affable Val Sieber. Then
again, when I enjoy them this much I don't really care.
This
is everything I want in a slightly lighter weight wine for summer
drinking, it's red fruit dominant but there's some black and blue too,
tannins not too challenging for a warm evening, and just the right
amount of acid for food or sipping slightly chilled (about 15C).
Recommended and ****, particularly good value in dozens from their website or cellar door.
