2025 Doom Juice Rouge Riverland – Immediately generous and inviting: ripe raspberries and sour cherries hug the forefront. Beneath sits a layer of fresh herbal stalk – think dried oregano or dry thyme on Mediterranean soil. A subtle whiff of red licorice or berry-candy adds playful intensity, and there’s a faint mineral/earthy note.On the palate, the wine shows lively red and dark fruit – juicy cherries, cranberry skin, and a drizzle of blackcurrant. It enters with freshness: a bright acid line brings energy rather than heaviness. Tannins are soft and fine-grained – present but not drying, more cushion than chew. Mid-palate opens out into a gentle spice note – white pepper and a hint of cocoa powder or dark chocolate dust. The finish is clean, with the fruit fading into a herbal-leaf fade and a cool slate or oyster shell hint that lingers. The overall grip remains modest, making it eminently drinkable now.Single Price: $32.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $24.00
