D’Arenberg 2008 The Galvo Garage Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Cabernet Franc-Petit Verdot Red (McLaren Vale-Adelaide Hills)

Country: Australia / The Galvo Garage Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Cabernet Franc-Petit Verdot
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend South Australia
Winery: D’Arenberg / McLaren Vale-Adelaide Hills

A bold, aggressive wine that lacks a bit of elegance, the 2008 Galvo Garage is a big mouthful of cassis and cedar. In another few years it may settle down, but for now the overall impression is of a rather rough customer that’s best suited to be poured alongside grilled steak.
