Angus Hughson, McLaren Vale: Pushing the Envelope of Refinement, Vinous.

97 points
The richly endowed 2019 Grenache Smart Vineyard is bursting with red cherry, camphor, petrichor, raspberry and subtle spice aromas with impressively youthful vitality. Bold, mouth-filling and flavoursome, this full-throttle yet balanced Grenache is a flavour bomb with enthralling volcanic, earthy tones over a rich core of dark berry fruit before building to a strong finish punctuated by structural tannins. This is benchmark Grenache.
