APHGRN21-WAIT
Sourced from the old bush vine block on the Wait Vineyard, in Blewitt Springs. Arguably the most filigreed and complex of these single-vineyard iterations by virtue of its brood and carnal complexities: blood orange seeped with kirsch, woodsmoke and clove. Like the finest Sicilian-accented negroni. Straddles pinosity and nebbiolo-inspired boniness all at once, while laying the structural lattice to define a long, thrilling ride to the finish. Yet there is the mescal and dill-pickle note suggesting a bit more ripeness may be not such a bad idea

Bright, deepish red/purple hue. The bouquet is sweetly ripe with some foresty whole-berry or whole-bunch inflexions, the palate likewise sweetly fruited and medium to full-bodied, with a sheen of light, gentle but still quite persuasive tannins. A very smart grenache with excellent structure. 12 MAR 2022 Drink 2022–2036
