Sons of Eden Kennedy GSM 2018
A 46/36/18% blend from vines aged between 20-100+yo picked between 9 Mar and 12 Apr, the vinification methods equally diverse. The result is a rich, smooth, self-contained blend with rich red berry/red flesh wine.

Sons of Eden Kennedy GSM 2018
The entry point into the Sons of Eden range is the 2018 Kennedy Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvèdre, which blends 46% Grenache, 36% Shiraz and 18% Mourvèdre. Loaded with black cherries, but balanced by black olives and hints of roasted meat and mocha, it's a ripe, supple, full-bodied red that should drink well for at least 5-6 years—and is very fairly priced for the quality.

Sons of Eden Kennedy 2018
Cherry and plum, a fair bit of five spice, and a sage leaf and dried rose perfume. It’s medium-bodied, dark and spicy, with a little bit of dried strawberry and cocoa, supple tannin, even acidity, and a more saline dried beef character on pretty long and clove spiced finish.
