Grosset 2004 Gaia Red (Clare Valley)

Country: Australia / Gaia
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend South Australia
Winery: Grosset / Clare Valley

Deceptively silky and elegant in texture, so much so that its power is easy to overlook. Cassis and tobacco flavors are typical, framed by touches of brown sugar, while the finish turns a bit lean and herbal, with tea-like tannins. 70% Cab Sauvignon, 25% Cab Franc, 5% Merlot.
