Producer |
STRATUS VINEYARDS |
Very deep intense purple colour. Uncharacteristically herbal and peppery with a cherry-plum-apple nose with some cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, savoury, herbal, baked plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, gently cedary, high acid finish. Has 12.7% alcohol and 8 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Not up to the much riper recommended best buy 2014 (**+) released on November 12, 2016 at $18.95. |

TASTING NOTE: This is smoky with complex notes of strawberries, red fruit, pepper spice and a hint of cocoa. A good value and the perfect partner for grilled lamb or beef kebabs. (Vintages panel, Jan. 2017) |
