Note di degustazione
This is a rich blend with very attractive, ripe dark fruit; deep plums, mulberries and dark berries abound. The palate has a very rich and plush core of blackberries. Full of flavor. Drink or hold.

The value play here is unquestionably the 2016 Grenache Shiraz Mataro which is 50% Grenache (from the Les Amis vineyard), 25% Shiraz, and 25% Mataro. It offers a thrilling perfume of sweet black raspberries, sagebrush, herbes de Provence, and sweet spice that carries to a full-bodied, layered, beautifully textured blend that’s already impossible to resist. I followed this bottle for multiple days, and it never showed any signs of oxidation and was always brilliant. It should continue drinking fabulously for 10-15 years.
One of the best values and flat-out sexiest wines in the lineup is the 2016 Grenache-Shiraz-Mataro. Driven by the 1901-planted Grenache from Seppeltsfield that makes up 60% of the blend, it's richer, darker and deeper than the Riverside bottling. Sage and licorice notes add nuance to the black cherries on the nose and palate of this full-bodied, richly concentrated and layered offering.
