Deep crimson red in colour with brilliant purple hues.  Dry.  Medium to Full Bodied.  Blueberries, Blackberries, and Violets.  Earthly.  Oak.  Balance. 14% Alc


Tasted on 8th October 2010.  Venturing into South West Wine, particularly Margaret River apart from the normal South Australian Wine.  I find wine from this region has got a very strong earthly spice flavour particularly the Shiraz which makes it intriguing.  Definitely the style is very different.  With aromatic bouquet buzzing out on opening.  Should try some wines from this region.  I have a few more to introduce.  But make sure you check out www.sanawine.com which is opening in the 1st Quarter 2011
