Tasting notes
62% Roussanne, 28% Marsanne, 10% Viognier. Lots of impact! But a tad low acid for my taste. See Thistledown's racier alternative . A tad dead on the end. (JR)

The fruit forward 2022 The Steading, a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, is attractive. It presents vibrant aromas of dark cherry and blackberry conserve with a gentle herbal/earthy lift. Fleshy upfront, but with genuine tannins in support offering smoky meat and spicy flavors in a muscular frame.
The 2022 The Steading is juicy, fleshy and aromatically abundant. It is routinely a reliably satisfying wine, and it has been ever since I started drinking wine. Framed by this fine, fresh, late vintage, the Steading looks better than ever, with raspberry, licorice, mulberry, star anise and a hint of aniseed. Super! 15% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax.
62% Roussanne, 28% Marsanne, 10% Viognier. Very pretty aromas of white flowers and ripe pears. Intense and perfumed finish with a spicy/peppery note from oak makes it extra appealing. A gentle, grippy texture makes me think of food. (FG)
