Springs Hill Series Sparks Grenache 2015
Loved this, pulled from the cellar at the Crafers Hotel, SA. Last drink before going dry Feb. Paired with duck. Darker fruited with a bit more heft from some Syrah mixed in. Earthy, mild spice, dense, very whole bunch giving a gorgeous savoury tannic finish. Great food match. — 23 days ago
Battle of Bosworth
McLaren Vale Shiraz 2009
Rich ruby/purple in colour. A very Aussie Shiraz Cabernet blend. Actual percentages 60/40. Red and black ripe fruits with mulberry and blackberry with a spicy chorizo type nose. Sweetish palate of blackberry. See previous notes for the partial “Amarone” treatment of the grapes. A full bodied red. This producer has been organic and biodynamic for some time in McLaren Vale. One of the 1001 Wines. — 19 days ago

This wine offers a nose of black and blue berries, shoe leather and a hint of black olives. It’s a deep, rich bouquet. The flavors are similarly dark, with berries leading the way again. Black pepper and a nutmeg note also appear, with the fruit staying long on the finish. There is a good tannic structure, easily enough for a steak or beef stew. The oak regimen was nearly all used barrels, so the oak effect is quite nice, not a bit overdone.
