D’Arenberg 2005 The Cadenzia G-S-M (McLaren Vale)

Country: Australia / The Cadenzia
Variety: G-S-M South Australia
Winery: D’Arenberg / McLaren Vale

This full-throttle blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre comes across as almost Zinfandel-like, with bold, briary fruit and hints of damp earth. Shows a bit of warmth on the finish, but also a flourish of bright berry fruit. Drink now and over the next several years.
