Vintage: 2006 Appellation: McLaren? Vale Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon Alcohol by volume: 15% Production: 5,000 cases Release date: April 18, 2008 Availability: April 2008

Taste: If you liked the Lot 40 McClaren? Vale Cab then you’ll love the Lot 61. Bigger, richer, far more voluptuous. We bought this wine on our January 2007 trip and have had it in barrel until bottling at the end of last year. It’s still unwinding in the bottle and a bit unpredictable but upon broad retail release I expect this wine to fly out the door so don’t be afraid to buy yours today. It should be ready to go by early May and full tasting notes will be available then.
