Winemaker Notes: Bright, supple, and varietally correct, this wine delivers all the pleasure and versatility you could want in an early-drinking Bordeaux blend (with a bit of Sangiovese!).Red and blue fruited, with flavors of quandong (a red native peach), red currant, blueberry, and plum. The savory notes are persistent and playful, of black pepper and strawberry acacia. Easy but complex.
Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 20% Sangiovese

Aromas of red cherries, ground cooking spice, dried herbs and bark. Medium- to full-bodied with silky, fruit-soaked tannins. Rather expressive and bright with driving acidity and lovely spicy complexity. Lingering and steady. Drink or hold.

I've loved everything I've tasted from Murdoch Hill in the past couple of weeks, and this 2021 Red Blend is no exception. It has brambly red berries and black tea spice on the nose, while in the mouth, the wine is balanced, satisfying and infused with fine tannins. When I pick up a non-discriminate "red blend," I do want it to be something like this. The acidity that laces its way through the finish is salty and fine—keeps things refreshing.
