Crisp and lively, with a bit of a tannic bite to the currant and floral flavors. Best after 2001. 10,000 cases made.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add

Violet color. Plenty of plumpness kept even by a cool core of currants and blackberries. Both the flavor and texture linger long into the clean, stylish finish. This is a solid, journeyman’s red—not too exotic, but it delivers the goods. The rhubarb, coconut and nutty oak mingle well together.——M.S.(4/1/2000)—— 88
