Swinney Grenache 2021 santa-barbara-county KellerbergDeep lively crimson. Bright, brambly and perfumed with musk sticks, Mr Lincoln rose, red liquorice and violets. The palate is grapey, fresh and pithy with pomegranate, red cherry and rusty nails. Full flavoured yet light on its feet, the intense fruit is complimented by suede like tannins that frame the fruit beautifully.
