Other Reviews….
The winemaker uses the term "affable" to describe what he is aiming for. Affable it most certainly is. Nero d'Avola makes the running with its luscious raspberry, cherry fruits and herbs, while shiraz brings the spice and depth. The third player, durif, adds a dark, brooding tannic presence. Together they bring energy and fruit power to a supple, ripe and beautifully composed wine. A unique Aussie blend worth searching out. Drink by 2038.
