I have tried this wine a number of times over lunch but hadn't yet taken the time to review it; a surprise given each time i commented on the quality of this terrific value wine.
2012 is shaping up as a great vintage in Gippsland with the wine giving a light red in the glass. The nose has stemmy cherry, showing well managed use of whole bunch that is supported by a spiced vanillin lift.
This wine is summed up by balance and purity, bright red cherry gets a savoury sour edged twist that is well supported by crunchy acidity that will set this wine up to gain even more complexity over the short to medium term.
