The 2020 Tumbled Granite red is the pinnacle of red winemaking, a winemaker’s selection of the vintage’s purist expression of Double D Vineyard.

The 2020 Tumbled Granite red blend delivers powerful aromatics of creme de cassis, freshly turned earth, and oak spice. Giving way to a dense, plush, and refined palate with lively tension and mouth-watering acidity. A light dusting of minerality compliments the core of black fruit finishing with stylish notes of creme de violet and oak on the luxurious finish.

Perfectly enjoyable now but built to stand the test of time, in its youth we recommend decanting for at least 1-2 hours prior to enjoyment.

84 | Dark deep colour. Canned corn, very tannic, thick and astringent, bitter, coarse, extractive; unpalatable to me.

88 | Quite syrupy. The alcohol dominates in this wine. Slurpy. Warm.

95 | Massive. Dark chocolate, plums, bramble. Big, luxuriously fruited palate. Big ripe generous tannins. Not particularly complex but masses of appeal

84 | honey, blackberry jus and stewed plums, loosing steam and freshness by the moment, baked finish.
