Running With Bulls, Tempranillo, Barossa, 2021

Destined for fun times. Morello cherries, black and blue berries, choc nut bar, a little meaty depth with a cool herbed edge. Unashamedly mid weight and fruit forward with only hints of oak wrapping. Plush dark fruit with bright sides and purple floral lift. The tiniest rasp of tannin, maybe summer time bbqs are calling as it’ll handle a chill without damaging the charm.
