Varieties: Shiraz 34%, Grenache 33%, Mataro 16.5%, Viognier 16.5%
Region/GI: South West Australia, Great Southern, Franklin River
Vintage: 2011
Colour: Medium ruby red
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Fruity, fresh berries (raspberry, mulberry, blueberry)
Flavour: Much heavier and chewier than the nose would suggest. Blueberry or even even plum jam-paste (povidla) with a hint of coffee and even hints of cardamon and cinnamon. Chewey with solid tannin and nice length. Points: 85 (3+7+11+7+7+50)

Notes: $15 ~300 Kc. I am enjoying this on a rainy Saturday afternoon just after lunch. The flavour, mouth feel and length are delightful. A nice surprise.
