It's not too far a stretch for a renowned producer of Pinot Noir out of the Yarra to make a foray into Grenache from the high and volcanic climes of Heathcote.
Initial heft, of dusky and full plum and damson, suggestions of ripeness with a touch of spice and woodsmoke to set that off.
The palate shows richness and ripeness, yet with a succulence and smoothness across the middle and latter thirds.
Something like a hint of chocolate, carrying the wine across the finish line. 91
