Brief notes. Red fruited on the nose. A light to medium weight palate with same red fruits particularly strawberry. Finishes tart and somewhat underwhelming. Going through a dumb phase? To give it the benefit of the doubt I will leave the last one for a year or two given the reputation of the producer and the 2015 vintage in the Yarra Valley. It certainly has some improving to do for the price.

Cherry ripe, Turkish delight. Wonderful expression. Where this varietal needs to be heading

All flowers and shrooms and zingy minerality on the finish.
