Medium garnet/purple, the 2013 Eclipse Proprietary Red McLaren Vale/Langhorne Creek is scented of cherry coulis, raspberry pie and red currant jelly with nuances of cinnamon stick, toast, mandarin peel, potpourri and white pepper. Full-bodied, very elegant and packed with red berry, spice and earthy layers, the tannins are velvety and the acidity provides plenty of freshness, especially on the long finish.

Sleek and ripe, with juicy blackberry and tomato leaf flavors set on a silky texture, lingering with generosity against refined tannins. Grenache, Shiraz and Graciano. Drink now through 2017. 400 cases made, 80 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
