Henry's Drive Vignerons. 2006 Red Pillar Box

General: Yes, I bought this as the label caught my attention.

Varieties: Shiraz 50%, Cabernet Sauvignon 42%, Merlot 8%

Region/G.I.: Limestone Coast, Padthaway

Alcohol: 15.0%

Bouquet: Very juicy fruit - round, dark plums and some cedary tones. Animal (wet cow) undertones. Nice complexity

Flavour: Medium bodied. Flavour is more toward red-current than plums but the cedar is still there. Good dry finish and the tannins balance well. A very pleasant drink. It seems to get better and better

Points: 84

Notes: Undiscounted, this is $13.00 (234 Kc). A good buy and preferable to the Red tasted last week.
