A fantastic blend of Shiraz & Grenache, this opulent wine is all purity. I don't know if its due to it being biodynamic organic, but the cleanliness of this wine reminds me of glaciers. It's also very well balanced, fruit driven with earthy notes, and well integrated tannins. It's a joy to drink and goes very well with New Zealand lamb chops [they are delicate and tender], goat cheeses and a myriad of other things. 1 Note

Color: Dense, dark blood red, almost black
Nose: Fruity and powerful, black cherry & wood with a hint of strawberry. Spicy, with currants and dried fruit appearing.
Taste & Palette: Surprisingly tart for the dark & subdued nose. Oily, unbelievably dense with quite a bit of warmth. Noticeable tannin punch. Chocolate emerges in the middle and dominates the tongue for a second before yielding to strawberry, syrup, and medicinal flavors. The finish is long and subdued.

Fruity, elegant, full bodied - agreed well with local Indian food, which made it an even better experience overall!

Color: A pretty dark purple
Nose: Strawberry bursts on the nose, with some fresh, woody scents following, cotton, medicine, cedar come subtly behind it with a strong finish of cherry candy.
Taste & Palette: Dry and tannin-laced, but full-bodied and fruity. Cherries and Blackberries are the most prominent flavors, with hints of apple. Delicate, delicate flavor—you have to pay attention. Light chocolate and spice in the attack, but gone by the finish, which is short in terms of flavor, but long in feel.
