The 2018 season was one of the best growing seasons for the past 20 years. An ideal spring was followed by a mild yet sunny summer which ripened all the reds deep into April without disease pressure. Crops were below average which led helped ripening and concentration of fruit flavor. The 2018 Blue Monday is defined by the raspberry and satsuma succulence of the Grenache; the Mourvedre adds a meaty, earthy/mineral backbone and the Shiraz is high noted with raspberry and spice. Youthful and vineyard driven the 2018 has a tighly woven structure that unwinds and evolves in the glass over several hours. Decanting is recommended!

James Halliday – Very nicely done. Not a big wine by any stretch but everything feels well placed. Woody spice and redcurrant, cocoa and earth, florals and herbs. There's an intricacy to the tannin and a satisfying feel to the finish, even in a light to mid-weight context. 8 June 2020
