| Community Tasting Notes | | | Tasted by Big Daddy Gav on 4/30/2021: Another year should see it at its best (474 views) | | | Tasted by graemeg on 9/19/2020: {screwcap, 14.5%} This is Pyrus? Inky black, smelling of coconut oak and black currants? Not St George? Well, colour me shocked. Black and inky aromas and flavours. Full-bodied, with medium acidity, and medium dusty tannins, not so oaky tasting on the palate. Fairly dense though, shot with hints of jammy blackberry and no real hint of the merlot and Malbec that battle the 80% cabernet here. Twig, some herb maybe. Perhaps a bit rustic, but not much. Big warm finish though. You wonder why TWE maintain these labels, and what they leave after Wynn’s has had its pick of Coonawarra fruit. This is not much differently priced to Black label cab, richer, less savoury, more oaky, but still with some grainy Coonawarra authenticity. Finishes only really medium length, a bit patchy for palate presence. I paid $35, value is marginal at that level I think. Will hold, or mellow, might develop some complexity over a few years, but it’s a long way from the Pyrus of the 80s and 90s, which really does seem misguided to me. (512 views) |

Producer websiteRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone CoastCoonawarra Coonawarra |
