[SOLD-OUT] Mount Mary Marli Russell RP2 Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2016

50% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 20% Shiraz, 10% Cinsault

Wine Front 93 Points!

"Firmish, fine-grained and kernelly, with a spicy fragrance of juicy red cherries, redcurrants and a cranberries backed by dusty, herbal notes and a whiff of fennel. Almost confiture-like, its medium to full-bodied palate of bright, luscious red fruits extends down its powdery spine towards a savoury, faintly herbal finish wrapped in mouthwatering acids."

"Grenache (50%), mourvedre (20%), shiraz (20%) and cinsault (10%). “This is the wine I am arguably most excited about, I bloody love cool climate grenache, it does really make quite pinot-esque wines, doesn’t shrivel, hangs out in our ‘hot weather’, and in a year like 2016 just thrived. These aren’t South Australia-kind-of wines, they are more pinot-styled”, says Sam Middleton in a sweep of his good energy about the wine.


Floral perfume, rose hip and strawberry scents, touches of green herbs and pepper. Lovely perfume. Has a softness to taste, supple, very long, very pretty in its just-ripe fruit characters and set on sheets of lively acidity and faint peppery spice. There’s touches of tomato leaf and rhubarb too, but well set into the wine, lending complexity and savoury touches. Lots of charm, sleekness, drinkability."


Mike Bennie, Wine Front, May 2018


 

"The 2016 RP2 shows a particularly complex nose of liquored cherries, assorted spices, liquorice and rich berry fruits. With time in the glass, this wine begins to unveil its true potential, becoming more and more expressive. On the palate this wine is fresh and lively, showing a wide fruit spectrum of both red and dark fruits. It has beautifully balanced grainy tannins to match the intensity of flavour. The RP2 is of medium body and exhibits excellent length and persistence. Although this wine is ready to go, expect some improvement in the cellar."
