Not to be confused with Geoff Merrill’s ‘Pimpala Road’ range, these Pimpala Vineyard wines are careful barrel selections from his reserve range. This has spent no less than 29 months in French and American oak Hogsheads, and a couple of years in the celar to let all its powerful fruit and decadent oak flavour all meld together. This vintage is a dark, brooding red with incredible depth of flavour that matches the colour. A heady perfume of blackberries, black olives, toasted chocolate biscuits (if that wasn’t a thing, it is now!), earth, exotic spices and seared steak float up out of the glass with each swirl. The palate is as the nose promises – rich and complex. There are firm tannins to guide you and surprisingly powerful acidity to drive the finish home and lift that deep savoury complexity to new heights. This will last for many years in your cellar yet, but we can attest it’s drinking bloody well now, too.
