Padthaway , Australia


Vintage Cellar Review: 87 – Robert Parker
This red wine is a well above average effort with lots of flavor as well as Australia's so easily obtainable, lush fruit. The 2013 Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively) exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue along with a layered, peppery, berry fruit-scented nose revealing licorice and meaty notes. From a much lighter vintage, it is a supple, easygoing red to enjoy now and over the next several years.

My Review:  The Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark red with the scent of bad asparagus. The taste had hints of produce mixed with cherry and pomegranate. The wine was acidic, tannic, and overwhelmingly alcoholic.
