Yalumba Bush Vine Grenache Barossa 2011
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe bigger, riper, toastier 2012 vintage is readily available on our market, but if you get a chance to snag a few of the remaining bottles of 2011 (or if you were fortunate enough to stash some away), kudos to you. I love the freshness of this overlooked Aussie grape, so oft relegated to a blending partner. Big cracked spice here, with cinnamon and black pepper from start to finish, overtop of perfumed black floral, deep damson plum and a satisfying, fresh palate. Partial wild ferment ups the character factor. Pour with grilled pork chop.Tasted: 12 April 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Pacific Wine & Spirits |
