Larry Cherubino Laissez Faire ’IV’  (Larry Cherubino, Frankland River, Great Southern WA) is a compelling GSM-style blend: 44% Counoise, 33% Mataro, 15% Shiraz, 8% Grenache. Aromas of fresh tobacco, pomegranate, cedar, autumn leaf-litter and pink peppercorn lead into a palate where perfumed red berries-strawberry, blackcurrant-merge with slate-like minerality, crunchy acidity and dry, fine tannins. The mid-weight structure is elegant yet grounded by savoury nuance from French oak maturation over 10 months. Critical acclaim includes 95 points from Ray Jordan and Gold Medals at both the Melbourne Wine Show 2022 & Wine Show of WA 2023.
