S.C.Pannell 'The Vale' Grenache-Shiraz 2018

"This is very good. The sort of warm-climate expression that I enjoy drinking: full bodied, sure, but pulpy and almost ethereal, with a slake of saline briary tannins suggesting whole bunches in the mould. The tannins make the wine, steering notes of rosehip, bergamot, kirsch, sassafras, orange zest, cranberry and lilac about the mouth. A spurt of maritime freshness, towing it long." 95pts Gold Halliday Wine Companion
