Ochota Barrels The Green Room Grenache Noir/Syrah Mclaren Vale 2013

This Grenache-Syrah blend presents a luminous ruby hue in the glass. The nose evokes Pinot Noir with its delicate precision, displaying fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, rose petal, resinous incense, and blood orange zest, all underscored by a pronounced mineral signature. The palate delivers excellent clarity and focus, offering taut raspberry and tart cherry flavors that develop texture as the wine opens, yet never sacrifice their inherent vibrancy. The floral character resurfaces emphatically through the finish, which displays impressive persistence and a subtle sweetness that extends the wine's aromatic complexity.
