Part of the Vinaceous stable’s side projects, this one “VSP.” I’m taking an educated guess that it means ‘Vinaceous Special Projects.”

Vinaceous, Weird Science, Lunar, Shiraz, Tempranillo, Margaret River, 2018

wet plums and melted chocolate over light tobacco and stalky cherry. Smells wet and fun. Like a mud puddle to stomp around in. Slick on the tongue: enough herby shade over the dollops of red fruit goodness. Limited fine yet, chalky tannins mean that a chill is possible. Slightly short on the finish, but then it’s still juicy and fun.
