Wirra Wirra The Absconder Grenache 2019 750ml

Deep burgundy with a scarlet edge in color. Bouquet of ripe blueberries, wild raspberries and plums are followed by nutmeg, earth, and thyme. A fragrant combination of primary fruits, spices, florals, and dried herbs. The palate is dense and plush, the core red fruits and cherry liqueur are wrapped in layers of sweet, musky spice. Waves of silky, sandy-textured tannin finish the wine with an earthy, savory note.

Pair with duck leg confit with white bean cassoulet.

96 Points - James Suckling

This wine is in full stride in 2019 with such intense raspberries and dark cherries, wrapped in a smooth, juicy palate that has such silky, well-judged tannin structure. So much depth of flavor with upbeat, velvety texture.
