Pikes. 2007 The Red Mullet


General: This is the second time I have tasted this wine. I am a fan.
Varieties: Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvedre, Tempranillo
Region: Clare Valley, SA
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Mild. Brush. Hints of Red currants.
Flavour: Very smooth with good length. Debated whether hints of red currant or sour cherry were stronger. Surprising that the alcohol is not noticeable given its strength.
Points: 84
Notes: At $14.00 (210 Kc) a very good ready to drink wine. Very good value.
