2016 Ironcloud Rock of Solitude Purple Patch GSM
Wine Rating
90
A blend of Grenache Shiraz and Mourvedre that’s sourced from the Ferguson Valley in WA.
The nose gives a touch of varnish to dark cherry fruit, with a flicker of baking spice. The palate has a chalky backbone of acidity with fine tannins that have a leather and milk chocolate note. The palate continues the thread of cherry fruit with a pepperiness that adds complexity. The finish is long, drying and will continue to open up over the shorter term.
