Wirra Wirra. Scrubby Rise 2007 Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot



General: A very good wine which our family enjoyed with a leg of lamb.

Variety: Shiraz 45%, Cabernet Sauvignon 40% and Petit Verdot 15%

Alcohol: 14.5%

Bouquet: Fresh berries dominant

Flavour: Some spice but more plum at first with solid dryness and gentle tannins that follow. Medium to long on the palate.

Points: 84

Notes: A great buy at $14 (CZK 210) at 1st Choice and even better with a 6 bottle buy. It will be interesting (and enjoyable) to see how this develops further.
