Great year, so that seems a very nice price at that.
I opened one of these this week. Mine was still delicious, still plenty of sugar with that incredible cherry/acetone bead that seems to hold in these Clarendon grenaches when any other flavours have paled a bit. Given that my only experience of straight grenache is old Clarendon ones, this seems to be what I think a nice grenache should taste like! Maybe I'm missing out, as I do see write-ups suggesting more.
Definitely has been worth a punt. I've gone for these when $30 or below from Langtons (and even some from GWD!) and I think many are excellent value as the winery seeks to move out what must be a huge stash.
Acetone? As in nail polish remover etc.? Generally regarded as a winemaking fault or due to oxidation.
I confess I worked in a physics chem lab and loved the smell of acetone (and pure ethanol)! I think this taste is in the line of kirsch cherry rather than a fault (oxidation definitely possible but it seems like a part of the wine, and many writers identify a cherry tone). Everyone else who has had the grenache with me has really enjoyed it.
Ah yes, I remember some of the concoctions we made and drank with the absolute ethanol smuggled out of the organic chem lab at uni in the mid-late 60's. Acetone not so much a favourite.
dang- i was slow but ordered now direct from Standish website. Everything still in stock.Thanks. I got my email today and then subsequent order sent just now.

Shiraz with plenty of sauce. Sweet blackberry and plum flavours come liberally adorned in smoky, bacon-y oak. One sip and you’re either in love or aghast; its persona is immediately and overwhelmingly apparent. The fruit here, the juicy sweet flow of it, and the oak, so silken and smoky at once, make for pretty sexy drinking, depending of course in your tastes in wood. One thing that should be emphasised here though is that the fruit feels fresh and flowing; it’s not heavy/hot/overdone. - Campbell Mattinson
Just checked my 2019 vintage - it is a blue label
