Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2022 Basso Grenache is ferrous and floral, and the palate follows with loads of graphite tannin. This is silty and exotically spiced, with a cavalcade of sumac, pomegranate and paprika dolce. It's a gorgeous wine. The fruit here was handpicked from a dry-grown vineyard in Blewitt Springs, and it is sensational. Tannins are the calling card of Steve Pannell's Grenaches and are undoubtedly what makes the wines great. That and the inherent freshness the wines. Bottled with 30 parts total sulfur, 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
James Suckling: 93 Points
A sassy garnacha with firm tannins, as is maker Stephen Pannell's style, given his adoration of structure. This is delicious and versatile, destined for the table. For those who appreciate multifaceted textural elements, there are plenty of forest accents and mountain berry notes. Chewy, with hints of iron and charcoal across the finish. Plenty of stuffing behind it, so not once do things feel out of place. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
