Penny's Hill McLaren Vale Shiraz Cabernet Merlot Specialized 2001
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaMade from select parcels of the best estate grown grapes. Look for a spicy, gamey, cherry cola nose with vanilla, liquorice root, cassis jam, and smoke. Ripe, rich and round, it's almost sweet on the palate with big peppery, sandalwood, mocha/vanilla toast flavours and lots of cherry jam, and smoky cassis on the finish. Slightly tannic and grainy but with fine elegance and flavours. Will be perfect with turkey or duck but will also benefit from 2-3 years aging.Tasted: 09 November 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $31.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
