Item#: 74538

ST9292 pts. - Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - Jul/Aug 2012
Bright purple. A highly aromatic, heady bouquet of red and dark berries, Asian spices, violets and licorice; smells like an exotic northern Rhone wine. Deeply concentrated but energetic, offering spicy black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, with suave spicecake and floral pastille nuances. Finishes with impressive clarity and lift, the floral and spice notes repeating.

Where It's From

Country / Australia

View more wines from Australia

When casual wine drinkers think of Australian wine, they probably think of the critter-laden labels of Yellow Tail and The Little Penguin, among others. And while large wine companies dominate the Australian list, there are also a great number of smaller producers creating highly-rated, award-winning wines.

The majority of Australian wine is produced in South Australia, with most of that (those “critter wines”) carrying a South Eastern Australia appellation. Subregions such as Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and McLaren Vale are home to smaller producers and higher quality wines. Victoria and New South Wales are also significant regions, and wines from Western Australia are reaching America in increasing numbers.

Though Shiraz is the grape most associated with Australia, they’ve also had great success with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and Grenache.
