Ray Jordan’s review
The planets aligned in this season all across the state, especially in the Swan Valley, where the reds show incredible depth and intensity with beautiful aromatic floral notes adding to the appeal. Griffiths has been producing this for a while, and each year it comes up trumps. He uses seasoned American and French oak, which contributes to its richness and structure, while the intensity of the fruit is evident from the outset. Plush blackberry and plum with a subtle raspberry red fruit infusion. Another cracking wine that can age for a fairly long time.
