Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley
Tasted blind. Lots of dark fruit...blueberries, blackberries and cherry. Had a nice spicy element to the palate that I thought placed it in the Southern Rhone. The tannin, and alcohol were still significant (for me).
Lots of tilled soil, mushroom, green pepper and red fruits on the nose. The palate was cool, energetic and silky. Great red fruit, nice earthy notes with lots of crushed stones. Great stuff as usual.
One of the finer roses I've had. Nose of rose petals, some truffle, and cool strawberry fruit. The palate was really nice. Sleek, refined and elegant...this rivals Tempier and Baudry for the finest Rose from France.

Great wine. Fresh citrus tones meld seamlessly with seashells and salty notes. Always a winner.
