Distinctive, with earthy pear, grapefruit and dusky spice aromas and flavors, remaining lively and juicy through the long, multilayered finish. The oak is well-submerged under the other characteristics, making for a harmonious feel. Drink now through 2012. 1,000 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add
