Wow. Who would've thought. A Canberra region Grenache. 12.5 alcohol but so bright and lovely. This is sensational wine. Great posture and poise. Long in its structure.

Apr 10th, 2018This is the 'tindery' Cab franc / sauv blanc blend. Interesting enough, the sauv shows by the bucket load with a semi-slippery initial texture until the grainy greenish tannin from the Franc kicks in. The herbaceous notes from the sauv only add to how herbaceous Franc can be. It shows a lot of black cherry, sour raspberry and cut green herbs. If you look at it deeply enough it does show some guava and lychee notes from the sauv but they're probably not even worth mentioning. Co-ferment of the two I'm lead to believe, approach with an open mind, it can throw you about a bit. At $38 a bottle, bit of a gamble in my opinion, especially for something as experimental as such

Great label. I just couldn't get into the wine. Chilled out down, let it warm up, but nothing worked for me. The gritty tannins and shrill acid poked holes in the flavour for me. I'll try another next vintage because I love all of Bryan's other wines.
