The Magpie Estate Shiraz / Grenache The Schnell

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2239

Blended of 70% Shiraz and 30% Grenache, the 2008 Schnell Shiraz Grenache has a deep garnet-purple color and aromas of warm blackberry, some dusty earth and whiff of anise and menthol. Medium to full-bodied with a medium level of velvety tannins and high acidity, though the palate is a little ungenerous and straight-forward this is a nicely balanced blend with a medium-long finish. Drinking now, it should remain good to 2014+. Magpie Estate is a joint venture between the talented Barossa based produced Rolf Binder and UK wine merchant Noel Young. Coming through some difficult vintages, the line-up here remains solid with some very good to excellent wines to recommend. Note that no 2007 or 2008 Gomersal Grenache or Malcolm Shiraz were produced though a sneak-preview of barrel samples of the 2009 vintage of these wines promises something special to come.Importer: Total Beverage Solutions, Mount Pleasant, SC
