Torbreck 2008 Cuvée Juveniles Red (Barossa Valley)

Country: Australia / Cuvée Juveniles
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend South Australia
Winery: Torbreck / Barossa Valley

Despite the presence of Shiraz and Mataro in the blend, this shows some of Grenache’s shortcomings in its straightforward, almost confected red berry aromas and flavors. It’s a bold mouthful of fruit that’s a bit syrupy in texture.
