Vivid ruby. Red berries, cherry, fresh rose and smoky bacon on the varietally expressive nose. Vibrant raspberry and blackcurrant flavors are concentrated, clean and brisk, boasting impressive juicy lift. I can't find any tannins. The zesty red berry notes carry through on the sharply focused finish.

Rating for Australia-South Australia-Adelaide-Fleurieu-McLaren Vale: 85 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

Full bodied wine. Drank at Susan's, Ray brought it. Very nice.
