A riff on the original 2020 Brambles. The heart of the cuvee is carbonically fermented syrah with rizza pressed atop once fermentation had commenced. 500L amphora syrah/riz blend + 3ish barrels of syrah/riz + a puncheon of direct press Riesling.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
