The Ducks and Drakes label is new to Wild Duck Creek this vintage, with the 2009 Ducks and Drakes produced as a classic Aussie blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Shiraz. Profoundly scented of creme de cassis, mocha, moss, earth, slight burnt toast and a whiff of roasted nuts, the palate it unashamedly big, full and bold with medium-firm rounded tannins, a good amount of balanced acid and a long fruity finish. Drink this one now to 2017+. Note that as in 2008, no Duck Muck was produced in 2009.Importer: Rathbone Wine Imports, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 253-8332; www.fsfw.com.au
