Devil's Lair Fifth Leg Shiraz Merlot Sauvignon 2008

Margaret River, Western Australia, AustraliaThe real "fifth leg" was part of an archaeological find not far from Devil's Lair winery where fossilised remains of a Tasmanian tiger were discovered along with a mysterious extra leg. Look for an herbaceous leafy, Western Australian, style red with dark fruit, blueberries with soft textures and spicy toasted oak in the finish. The fruit comes off a mix of sites from the Geographe and Margaret River regions. The blend is shiraz (55%), cabernet sauvignon (30%) and merlot (15%). Ready to drink; try it with flank steak.Tasted: 08 August 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
