    2019 AUSTRALIAN ALTERNATIVE VARIETAL WINE SHOW
  • A churn of tannin and a burst of gorgeous ripe fruit combine to produce a red wine that you just want to drink and drink. It tastes of black cherries, anise and plums and is tasty throughout but it's the extra emphasis of the finish that really has you sitting up straighter.
