A new producer to me as in Garagiste from the Mornington Peninsula. Light to medium Ruby. Aromatic red fruits of Strawberry and Cranberry with a stalky whole bunch note. Fresh and young. Light in colour but medium intensity with medium dry tannins. Great QPR at $25 a bottle. Not for long keeping I would say. Had another one 71 weeks later on 17th November 2021 with consistent notes. Excellent value.

Really nice entry level, builds slowly with good complexity and length.

Brambly whole bunch feel to it with oaky notes that need a little time to integrate. Red fruit with supporting black notes and some herbaceousness. Savoury aspects and structure dominate for now.

Winner from a consistent Mornington producer. The nose is earthy, aromatic pleasure, typical of Mornington, less fruit forward than the 2012 but still a lean towards that delightful raspberry and deeper cherry with a soft tannin finish. Structurally well built like your grandmother house.

Silky, sexy fruit. Full bodied and nicely balanced with a clean finish.

Good Yarra PN. A bit heavier than most with a touch of tannins and forest flavours while still having soft fruit. Good length on the finish
