| 2007 D'Arenberg Shiraz/Viognier "The Laughing Magpie" McLaren Vale, Australia WB Rating: 87 Alcohol by volume: 14.5% Price at time of purchase: $18.59 (Costco) Type: Shiraz Principal varietal(s): 90% Shiraz, 10% Viognier Unusual, highly aromatic nose combining savory and spicy floral components with cherry and cranberry fruit, smoked meat, and pepper. Very tart feeling - almost shrill - in the mouth and finish. Some may find this wine more compelling than I did. In any case, a few more years to mellow out wouldn't hurt. - HK 2011-08-15 [Back] |
