95 pts James Suckling Feb 2024 This grenache shows glorious riffs on tangerines, mandarin peel, kirsch, cranberries, cloves and mace with a succulent mouth-feel. Full, but feels more medium-bodied. Scintillating length with a briary, chewy edge. Wonderful drinking. Drink or hold. Screw cap.95 pts Wine Advocate March 2024 The 2023 She’s Electric Old Vine Single Vineyard Grenache was handpicked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented wild with 50% whole bunches, then matured for 10 months in older French oak. The palate is complex and complete, with a ductile framework of tannin and lashings of exotic spice, raspberry compote, licorice and black tea. This is a superb wine; it’s rich and big but so balanced. There is energy here, edgy, vibrant energy. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. 2024-203893 pts Wine Spectator Dec 2024 Stylish and expressive, offering a supple, creamy mix of kirsch, framboise and strawberry flavors alongside spice notes including clove and nutmeg, plus a candied violet detail. Showing appealing hints of dried thyme, forest floor, cedar and sandalwood, this is effusive and generous on the finish. Drink now through 2034. 1,000 cases made, 800 cases imported.93 pts Wine Enthusiast May 2025 Light, bright and fruity, like strawberry bon bons dipped in rose water and sprinkled with white pepper, this is a youthful, highly crowd-pleasing tipple. It’s dry and feathery light on the palate, despite succulent red fruit concentration, with gentle, herb-etched tannins. Like a hug from a friend, it’s easy to see why McLaren Vale Grenache has been dubbed the Pinot of the South.
