The 2001 The Moonlight Run is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre, and Cinsault aged in neutral French oak. The Cinsault and Mourvedre come from 100-year old vines, the Grenache from 120-year old vines, and the Shiraz from 45-year old vines. This beauty’s inky purple color is followed by aromas of crushed black pepper intermixed with black raspberries, sweet cherries, cassis, and hints of licorice as well as earth. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, plush, and fleshy, this is a complex, full-bodied yet elegant Australian red to enjoy over the next 5-7 years.
