A blend from Australia, 60% grenache, 20% mataro and 20% shiraz, very reminiscent of southern France GSM blends. Dark, deep red. Earthy, dark red fruit, a bit of spice on the nose. Mid-weight on the palate, it's exceptionally well balanced. Nothing bitter, no intrusive tannins, alcohol is at a pleasant level. Spice, black fruit, lingering dark cherry, and a bit of acidity on the front of the tongue. It's definitely a wine that would pair well with a steak! About $35 on the shelf in upstate NY, as per usual at The Wine House in Manlius.
