Sons of Eden Kennedy Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvèdre 2020 (2 x 750ml)

Tasting notes: Deep crimson in colour this wine is bursting with ripe cherry, blackcurrants and complex five-spice aromas. The palate is an intriguing blend of red-fruit flavours and savoury undertones supported by a rounded and fleshy mid palate. The wine finishes with excellent length and freshness which ensures optimum drinking upon release but will mature well for the medium term. Reviews: 94 points, James Halliday, Wine Companion The sons are winemaker Corey Ryan and viticulturist Simon Cowham, although the roles can easily be reversed. Their red wines always have a velvet-rimmed mouthfeel of luscious fruit brought into line by acidity and classy tannins leading into a fine finish. 94 points, The Wine Front As my colleague Walsh has noted, you can count on Kennedy. I tasted through a range of Sons of Eden current/new releases recently and this wine stood out. I tasted them without knowing the asking prices and so I was surprised/delighted to find that this was also about the most affordable of them. Some days you have a win. What I like about this is that it’s both robust and svelte. It tastes of blackberry, kirsch, anise and dark leather and at every point along the flow of the palate it feels convincing.
