Alpha Box & Dice Kit & Kaboodle 2014

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaBlack cherry leather, boysenberry, tobacco and peppercorns fill the voluminous palate of Kit & Kaboodle, a McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek blend of montepulciano, cabernet sauvignon and barbera. An herbal mustard seed edge from first sniff weaves throughout the juicy acidity, framed by pencil shaving tannins. Bright and mouthwatering on the warming finish, this well-handled red calls out for hearty butternut squash / ragu ravioli. Alpha Box is a series of allocation-based wines from McLaren Vale that represent every letter of the alphabet.Tasted: 24 January 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
