Left open for an hour before drinking. Rose, spice, currants and raspberry. Saturated fruit with so,e what suppressed sweet fruit core. Better on its own after opening

Black currant, raspberry jam and tinned raspberries. Relatively pale colour (Grenache). Touch of spice. Smells a little confected, overripe; nice texture, easy style. A bit cloying on the palate. Trying to ape Cotes du Rhône but doesn’t quite pull it off.

So juicy, fragrant, fresh, and inviting. Light and transparent but with serious depth and intensity. Good acidity, sweet, pretty red fruit, noticble tannin, no oak, generous alcohol

14.5%, blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. Pop and poured. Very fresh and young, transparent garnet with a slightly purplish tint. Medium bodied, fresh, expressive sweet nose of youth, cherry, raspberry, spices. Very enjoyable daily wine.

Tried at Australian Winter Trade Tasting, then brought partial bottle home.
When I first tried it, it wasn't my favorite among the Torbreck line at the tasting. It was decent, not great. Seemed kind of lightweight. Then I brought a partial bottle home and tried over the next three days or so. I liked it better, perhaps it opened up. Had with several meals, including angel hair pasta with spicy tomato sauce; another night - sauteed chicken. It paired well with all of them. It's a fairly light wine, no complexity to speak of. Checked the pricing on WineSearcher - at $19 to $24 per bottle, seems a bit high for the quality for me, but it might work for you.Try a bottle and see what you think, then let me know with a comment below.

Restrained nose, with hints of red fruit and smoky oak. Palate is juicy, with good, clean acid: light-bodied but power-packed, and slightly spicy. Confectionery notes of sarsaparilla, cola, blackberry, and red cherry, with a spicy hit of pepper, and a bit of smoke on the finish. Tastes like they've blended in a portion of underripe fruit to add that spicy, peppery note, which is a good complement to the confectionery notes.

Game of Rhones (Carriageworks, Redfern): fruit forward, red berry; strawberry, quite lightweight and fruit forward. Sweet strawberry fruit, gentle tannins, no oak, pleasant
