The Grenache really shines here with good body and thick mouthfeel. It's not "fake" tasting like some of the other Australian wine that fills the market. #biodynamic

A very well priced Mclaren Vale red blend. Biodynamic and loving it. An interest stink on the nose, but gorgeous in the mouth with blackberry and chocolate.
Props to Micheal for this one.

Heavy and thick. This wine isn't something I would drink on its own but great to pair with lighter tasting food to balance a meal. It is earthy and savory but doesn't make my mouth water.

2012. Very nice! I'm not well-versed in Grenache, but I'm enjoying this one very much. Needs chocolate to nibble alongside it.
