The 2013 Secateurs red is a lovely blend of 83% Shiraz with 10% Grenache and 7% Cinsault, which comes from old un-irrigated mountain bushvines grown on a variety of granite soils that are naturally low yielding. This opens to aromas of raspberries and brambly notes woven together with white pepper, spices and underbrush all taking shape in the glass. This possesses a gorgeous medium weight texture with lovely acidity and freshness to the core of sweet ripe fruit. The finish is bright and lingers on. (Best 2016-2021) - November, 2016 (JD)
