The 2016 SMG is a vibrant ruby red. A pronounced fragrance of bright cranberry & fresh red plum jumps out of the glass. Spicy & savoury aromas follow with pepper, allspice, & toasty notes weaving together elegantly. The palate is rich & juicy but not heavy, with ripe, textured tannins balanced by fresh acidity. Red fruit flavours combine with black cherry, liquorice, & savoury notes of cured meat to create good complexity. Medium-bodied with a refined, dry finish.
