Grosset Wines 2001 GAIA

Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (75%), Cabernet Franc (20%), Merlot (5%)
Region/G.I.: Mount Lofty Ranges, Clare Valley
Colour: Deep red
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Plummy. A hint of forest berries
Flavour: Soft savoury spice which are gentle but something is not quite right/ pleasant about them. A little bit short in the finish. In the profile, nothing stands out as a highlight.
Points: 80 (3+5+10+6+6+50)
Notes: The clear loser of our Cab Merlot/ Bordeaux blend tasting. Interesting that it comes from a region known for Rieslings. This wine has a cult following and retails at about $65/bottle.
