"Steve Pannell seems to be going from strength to strength with his range of wines. Sitting down with him you get the sense of a person very comfortable in their winemaking, dedicated to vineyard, a broad taster of wines and most importantly making wines that he wants to drink and likes to drink " the latter something that I find is surprisingly overlooked, often. Anyway, the fruit for this wine comes from Echunga in the south of the Adelaide Hills, but still at around 400 metres above sea level. Open ferments with about 25% whole bunch included, then spends 12 months in various French oak vessels.

There's so much flavour in this medium-bodied wine, layered with game characters, briary red fruit, exotic spice, a sapid trim from glossy acidity, a touch of peppery, dried herbs from whole bunch " it's delicious! Simple. Aromas are glorious too " spicy, earthy, red and black berry fruit. The wine shows very fine dusty tannins, finishes trim and with a whip crack of drying amaro herb bitterness, just-so and refreshing. It's joven in feel but will appeal to more curious drinkers too. Fruit verity to the fore, but complexity and drinkability in tow. Clever. Outstanding drinking."
