Larry Cherubino, Apostrophe Possessive Reds', Great Southern, Western Australia 2020

From granite vineyards in Frankland River, this red blend features Shiraz, Grenache and Counoise, more commonly found in the Rhône. It clearly thrives in its Australian home, producing this juicy, fleshy and very drinkable wine. Bright brambly red fruit aromas lead to a palate that's layered with vibrant cherry fruit, spice and a touch of smoky leather, plus fine tannins. A neat Aussie twist on Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
