| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Full-bodied dry red wine; intense deep purple red. Spicy aromas with white pepper and cocoa notes reveal the Grenache and Shiraz elements in this rich, intense blend. Fresh, sweet black fruits (rather than dried) and substantial but not aggressive tannins suggest this could be a short-term keeper if correctly cellared. Flavors offer blackberry and black raspberry, with hints of chocolate. The long, lush finish captures an extra measure of richness. Grape types: Grenache (47%); Shiraz (42%); Mourvèdre (11%). With a Mediterranean climate, McLaren Vale has hosted viticulture since 1838; it sits in the Fleurieu Peninsula about 35 mi. south of Adelaide.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Peppered liver pâté; coarse-textured terrines; peanut-crusted rack of lamb; roasted chicken with a Southeast Asian barbecue sauce (lemon grass, honey, ginger, keffir lime--from Roy's), smoked meats and liverwurst, baked sweet onion stuffed with sweet potato; creamy, mild bleu cheeses; dark chocolate (so possibly a good match with mole poblano).
