Yangarra Noir 2019
Grenache, 62%; Mourvedre, 12%; Shiraz, 15%; Carignan, 6%; Cinsault, 3%; Carignan, 6%.
A true Southern Rhone blend beyond the usual suspects of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre; each component handled separately, prior to final assemblage.
Smells a touch rooty on opening, again I stress there's no bunch component, yet 50% whole berry.
It's light, slick and racy across the palate - a juiciness that cannot be escaped and fails not to freshen. A light rub of tannin, gentle maceration ensuring a fine extraction and delivering length.
No artifice, all expression of fine fruit and the winemaker's craft. 92
