d'Arenberg the Cadenzia 2009 Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre

The elegant palate adds rhubarb to the fruit spectrum with a very attractive pink musk nuance emerging on the mid palate with a second layer of earth and dried herbs providing a savoury kick. The lively acidity is linear and focused and a real feature. The tannins have good weight and build through the palate with a handsome presence on the long finish.

Hentley Farm Stray Mongrel 2012 Grenache Shiraz Zinfandel

Sweet glycerol and fruit line the palate and balance the savoury extended maceration tannins to prvide a full yet soft palate.
