Swinney Grenache 2022
$45.00Jeremy’s score 92/100Pretty and perfumed, with a youthful bouquet of raspberries, beetroot and earthy notes lifted by musky spices and floral notes. It’s elegant and medium-bodied, long and gentle, with a smooth core of fruit supported by a gentle spine of powdery, faintly mineral tannins, finishing soft and savoury with a lick of slate.

Swinney Mourvèdre 2022
$45.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Heady, meaty and powerfully aromatic, it’s laced with blackberries, Morello cherries and cedar/chocolate oak, lifted by exotic scents of eastern spice and blue flowers and backed by musky, meaty notes. Medium to fullish in weight, with a fine, gravelly backbone neath its powerful expression of dark berry/cherry fruit, it’s artfully knit with oak, extending stylishly towards a savoury finish. It’s an outstanding wine that becomes firmer and more granular with time in the glass, suggesting it will build considerably with bottle-age.

Swinney Riesling 2023
$37.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Ripe and mouthfilling, this juicy, gntreous riesling unfolds a musky bouquet of lemon and lime, guava and red apple skin. Underpinned by a fine powdery spine, its vivacious palate moves smooth and seamless towards a brightly lit, dry and refreshing finish.

Swinney Syrah (Formerly Shiraz) 2022
$45.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Exemplary, stylish and rather Old World, it’s medium to fullish in weight with genuine resemblance to quality St-Joseph. A musky, floral bouquet of cassis, blackberries, redcurrants and cedar/chocolate oak backed by suggestions of baked earth and licorice is lifted by eastern scents of five spice and cinnamon, plus a whiff of potpourri. There’s a hint of menthol as well. Long and layered, with a generous, gravelly palate, it’s dry and textural, with a lingering savoury finish. If you’re drinking it young, give it plenty of aeration first.
