(1279 views) | | | Tasted by cmmatthews on 10/9/2020 & rated 88 points: Big Syrah flavors, exactly what I look for from an AU wine. (1353 views) | | | Tasted by Martin_G on 6/6/2020 & rated 82 points: Just too much fruit and sweetness. Did not enjoy. Stuck it in the freezer - saucematerial. (1563 views) | | | Tasted by winejnky on 2/23/2020 & rated 90 points: Note from day two; Ripe blueberry and black raspberry flavors, low level minerality in the background. Was better day two, day one this was a bit sharp and somewhat over the top. Give this a long decant or wait a couple years. (1666 views) | | | Tasted by srh on 10/19/2019: Syrahs/Shirazes (3-AU, and 1 ea FR, S. Africa, & CA) (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 78% Shiraz & 22% Grenache; "Exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the N tip of the Barossa Valley. Vine age 50—80 yr old Shiraz & 50—110 yr old Grenache. Yield 3.5 tons/ha; Oak contact minimised for the Grenache; The Shiraz was matured for 16 mos in 2-3 yr old oak hogshead barrels (80% FR, 20% AM)." 14.5% ABV, 3.0 g/l R.S., 6.02 g/l, & 3.53 pH;
N: Closed; RIPE berries with notes of minerals; Intensity lurking?
P: LM body; RNDISH entry with very NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which pretty much works itself out by the LONG, balanced finish with an attractive, tangy/swtness to the firming, dusty tannins. NEEDS 12-18 mos, then drinking for 3-4 yrs more. My EXC-, poss more for QPR? [This vendor's $19.95 sits atop wine-searcher's somewhat skewed listing.] 92 pts Anthony Gismondi (CN), 91 ea Suckling & WA (Czerwinski), 90 Huon Hooke, & 17/20 Jancis Robinson.
Note: 1st tasted on 6/5/19 (1553 views) | | | Tasted by srh on 6/15/2019: Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 8 *shared* bottles] from 06/14/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 78% Shiraz & 22% Grenache; "Exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the N tip of the Barossa Valley. Vine age 50—80 yr old Shiraz & 50—110 yr old Grenache. Yield 3.5 tons/ha; Oak contact minimised for the Grenache; The Shiraz was matured for 16 mos in 2-3 yr old oak hogshead barrels (80% FR, 20% AM)." 14.5% ABV, 3.0 g/l R.S., 6.02 g/l, & 3.53 pH;
N: Very RIPE berries with notes of pyrazines
P: Med, poss LM, body; NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by a very, VERY slightly astringent PUCKER which morphs into a LONG, VERY slightly puckerish finish with a discrete swtness to the few, very, VERY fine tannins. Best suited for those fond of acidity, & even then PROBABLY *needs* through '20, poss even more. My VG+/EXC-, the higher arguably for the QPR of this vendor's $19.95, which sits atop wine-searcher's small but skewed listing. 92 pts Anthony Gismondi (CN), 91 ea Suckling & WA (Czerwinski), 90 Huon Hooke, & 17/20 Jancis Robinson. (1194 views) | | | Tasted by adamanko on 3/14/2019 & rated 81 points: Blueberry pie with alcohol. Too much alcohol. Day 1 around 80-82. But I'm saving half for another day so no grade today.
Edit: Did not come back to this one. So grades from the first day. But my guests who drunk it liked it day 3. (1309 views) | | | Tasted by Bobexile on 1/7/2019 & rated 90 points: Excellent Barossa blend. Loads of fruit, powerful, spicy yet smooth. Ageing potential here as well, I think. (1031 views) |

Producer Location (Google Maps)Red Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
