Spinifex Papillon Grenache/Cinsault/Carignan/Shiraz 2010, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia




Here is an interesting, easy drinking, Australian Rhône blend with a beautiful bright ruby color. This wine opened up with aromas of plum/strawberry/raspberry fruit, dried violet, white pepper and savoury spices. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied (with alcohol at 14%), dry, light on its feet, delicate texture, spicy plum jelly flavours, good acidity and smooth well integrated tannins. This blends finish is medium length, not very complex but smooth with nice flavours. Very interesting wine from Australia and very enjoyable, score 90 points.

Purchased October 13, 2012 LCBO New Release (285205) at $29.95
