Risky Business Shiraz Tempranillo Grenache 2023

93 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Sweetly ripe and inviting with notes of Black Doris plum, warm spice, toasted almond, and floral on the nose. It’s succulent and supple in the mouth, offering silky texture and finely integrated tannins, making it harmonious and smooth with a flavoursome finish.

Ken Gargett - Winepilot

European wine purists would have a fit looking at this wine. Their loss. Not only is it a rather uncommon blend of Shiraz, Tempranillo and Grenache, it hails from two regions – Margaret River and Frankland River. But this is exactly the sort of thing our local winemakers do so well. A deep crimson/purple colour, the nose exhibits notes of strawberries and raspberries, warm earth, dried herbs and bay leaves. This is finely balanced, of medium length, offering silky tannins and a gentle lingering finish. Enjoy over the next five to seven years.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

Full of dark red and black fruits infused with Middle Eastern spices and fresh herbs, a sweetness coming across the full-bodied palate. Plenty of grainy tannins and vibrant acidity, yet comes up a bit short on the finish, although a bitter green walnut note lingers. Decent barbecue wine at this pricepoint.
