The next in a line of very good Grenache or Grenache based wines I’ve had from the 2010 vintage in South Australia.
Before they sent this wine, I wasn’t really familiar with Cradle of Hills. They’re well and truly on my radar now though. This is a cracking Grenache blend, and very good value at an $RRP of $25.
Baked earth and cherry ripe. Lovely spice. Grenache juiciness yet with drying tannin. For my tastes it has a pitch perfect balance between richness and restraint. Good drive through the mid-palate before finishing with excellent length. This wine is eminently drinkable with a bit of air, but undoubtedly has the structure and complexity to age nicely over the next five years and beyond. Impressive.
