I've been fairly critical of wines made using carbonic maceration. The smell of burnt rubber isn't really something that I want in a wine. This one gets it right, not a hint of Dunlop's finest here. The result is a wine with fresh juicy fruit that's very easy to drink.
Bright ruby in colour. Aromas of grilled meats, blackberry bubble gum and white pepper. Bright fruit in the mouth, with fuzzy tannins and cranberry like acid. Juby blackcurrant and blackberry fruit. Really well done. 89 Pts.
