While I never like to pick favorites, Majella's -The Musician- is a wine that I often drink at home because it so consistently over-delivers on quality, balance and a sense of place for its price. A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Shiraz, the deep garnet-purple colored 2009 The Musician Cabernet Shiraz displays wonderfully expressive aromas of cassis, crushed blackberries, some eucalyptus, fragrant violets and red roses plus a waft of lavender. Full bodied and very concentrated, it's not shy on the structure with crisp acid and medium to firm level of fine grained tannins. The finish is long and juicy with the faintest suggestion of toast. Approachable now, it should continue to drink until 2015.
Majella was represented by The Grateful Palate in the USA, its current importer situation in that market remains unresolved. It is available in around 30 other markets around the world including Canada, the UK and most of Asia.
