Ravensworth 2022 Regional Sangiovese
"“..revel in the perfumed red berries and flowers, and the mouth-watering, lip-smacking tension of the palate and incredibly long finish” 95 Points, James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

"This represents the 20th vintage for Bryan Martin's sangiovese. I reckon he has the knack now. There’s a lovely fragrance and such delightful fruit in this, all red cherries and barberries with splashes of blood orange and amaro. Tannins are spot-on, all textural, shapely and mouthcoating, while the juicy acidity seals the deal." - 95 Points Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
