Medium bodied, fruity, and slightly acidic with a noticeable amount of sediment. A great wine.

Excellent Good fruit flavor. Lots of blueberries. Still fresh. Not over the top but very fruitful.

Took forever to open. Carried an unpleasant sourness on the front end throughout the bottle. After 5 or so hours, I did start to get some of the dark, plummy fruits other people mention. 88 points.

This 2006 McLaren Vale blend of 27% Shiraz, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 25% Grenache has retained it's character. Mild tannins with a medium finish made drinking this wine very enjoyable.
