SPECIAL VALUE - Outstanding grenache has been the calling card of Swinney, drawing gaze to their wonderful vineyard in Frankland River and rewriting the code with their medium-bodied, perfumed and succulent styling. We see a continuity of quality with this wine, with all the rosy perfume, floral lift, quiet meatiness and exotic spice, the concentrated but silky drawl of red and black cherry fruitiness and a swish of incredibly pure, fine, elegant ribbons of fine, granular tannin. With all this, an urgency to gulp – the wine, again, a high water mark for elegant reds of Australia. (96) MIKE BENNIE, Halliday Wine Companion
Exceptional purity of fruit. Redcurrant with an edge of pink marshmallow, plus some twiggy spice, plus some rusty tin/ferrous characters. It’s dry and tannic but svelte with bright, pink, red berried fruit. You have to like a bit of tannin, it really puts the squeeze on, but it’s very good. Simultaneously satiny and wild.
