A Grenache that refuses to slow down, it's an excellent expression from McLaren Vale producer In Praise of Shadows.
Flush with blue and juicy raspberries, red cherries and pomegranate, there’s an immediate freshness and energy here. Scattered spices stick to the mid-palate, joined by a dash of chocolate that adds another element of detail.
The palate is wonderfully slinky, gathering some tension as it travels, before finishing with fine, grippy tannins that provide a satisfying sense of shape and length.
Easy to pour and even easier to drink, this is Grenache doing what it does best as it delivers bright fruit, savoury spice and effortless drinkability, all the while enticing you to come back for another sip.
Deliciously uncomplicated and dangerously throatable, yes!
