What The Reviewers Are Saying
Winelines (Gilbert Labour) Silver
Appealing cherry colour leads to an initial nose of raspberry, tobacco and wafts of leather. The sweet'n'tart front palate reflects those aromas as well as unfurling notes of mushroom straw and almonds. This abundance of attributes is underpinned by crisp acidity and French oak grip. This is a flavoursome, generously multilayered cool-climate Sangiovese currently enjoyed slightly chilled but would also reward some cellaring.
Ozwinereview (Andrew Graham) Silver
Tumbarumba Sangiovese (which is a rare beast) from the Excelsior Peak Vineyard. 150 cases made. More Pinot Noir than Sangiovese with a bright mulberry and forest berry light to medium lithe palate. Not unripe though, although there is a high acid crunch and a bit of mulch at the edges here. Lovely pure bright alpine strawberry and cherry flavours, though with a real cool feel.
Best drinking: over the next five to maybe seven or eight years while it still remains fruit forward.
