Meaty, nutty, floral, cherry and blueberry. It’s fleshy, grainy, lots of flavour, some chicory-like bitterness, raspberry and pomegranate, plenty of grainy and textural chew to it, with a tangy sour cherry and blackberry finish of good length. Good wine, kind of rugged, but fun to drink. Needs food though, because it’s pretty firm. Grainy. Wholesome. Points: 90/100
Handpicked, destemmed and a large percentage of whole berries. Wild fermentation and matured for 5 months in stainless steel. You’ll find the Yangarra generosity here in a spiced laden Grenache full of blackberries, blueberries and prune plums. There is a boysenberry jam kick with clove, bay leaf and bitter cocoa. The wine is slippery on the palate with powdery tannins and a juicy frame. Slosh around in a decanter to make the most of those purple florals. Drink now or will cellar for 1-2 years. Serve with beef and black bean stir fry. Points: 92/100
PF for Preservative Free. Such a pretty hue captures the eye but there is some heft in the glass. Scents of dried petals, baked blueberries, boysenberry, licorice and dusty earth file through and add the detail. Flutters of mulberry gather momentum with baked berry pie rolling on. Soft tannins, almost powdery, make a late surge as baking spices make a final statement. It's a tidy wine that is sure to please. Drink this fresh though, don't wait. It will even take a slight chill. Points: 92/100
