A cracking value Barossa blend which would more than exceed expectations at your next gourmet BBQ with good friends. Grenache (50%), Shiraz (30%) and Mourvèdre (20%) form the blend. Maturation is in a mix of French and American barrels, both new and older. Crimson/purple in colour, this is a touch briary with notes of blackberries, dry herbs, root vegetables, mulberries, cranberries and warm earth. Good concentration through to a firm finish, the wine is of medium length. Enjoy over the next eight years.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
