Alpha Box & Dice Kit & Kaboodle 2017
AustraliaThis blend of montepulciano, grenache, and cabernet sauvignon comes from Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale. After whole bunch pressing, this was native fermented on skins and spent 6 months in a mix of stainless and old barriques. Soft, worn leather, dusky raspberry, strawberry jam are buffered with long, soft tannins and a warm tug framing the finish. There's an undercurrent of candle wax and baking spices led by nutmeg that heat the end of this wine.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $31.50 | 750ml | private wine shops |
