The purple-colored 2007 The Nubile Grenache (70%) Shiraz (30%) spent 18 months in seasoned French and American oak hogsheads with a dollop of the wine spending time in new Allier barrels. The alluring bouquet reveals violets, lavender, mineral, cherry, and blueberry. This is followed by a full-bodied, full-flavored wine which nicely conceals enough structure to permit several additional years of cellaring. Harmonious, concentrated, and lengthy, it should have a drinking window extending from 2010 to 2022. La Curio was established in 2003 by Adam Hooper who makes his wines at the well-known Redheads Studio. The focus is on old-vine Grenache and Shiraz from McLaren Vale.Importer: CLD Imports, Barrington, IL; tel. (847) 898-9500
