2010 Geoff Merrill Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre

A classical blend from McLaren Vale with the 2010 composed of 57% Shiraz, 35% Grenache and 8% Mourvedre. The wine is a medium red hue in the glass, and gives a nose that is dominated by rich vanillin oak with spiced plum and sour edged raspberry liquorice playing a supporting role.

The wine has a core of savoury fruit that keeps the richer Shiraz and Grenache characters at bay; sour edged cherry is the constant across the journey. There are well proportioned grainy tannins and spiced oak characters that lead to a drying finish
