Xanadu Next of Kin Shiraz 2011
Margaret River, Western Australia, AustraliaAnother warm ripe vintage from Western A. Two parts are co-fermented with a small portion of viognier before malolactic and 14 months in wood - mostly French (15 percent new). A small component of graciano rounds out the blend adding extra spice. The nose is peppery with fresh crushed dried leaves plum and herbal aromas. The attack is warm and slightly soupy with peppery, chocolate plum and tobacco flavours. Fun easy sipping red best with grilled meats.Tasted: 03 August 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $17.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
