Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #133, July/August 2007)
(D'Arenberg Shiraz The Footbolt McLaren Vale) ($19) Bright purple. Impressively perfumed aromas of powerful dark berries and musky herbs. Fresh, spicy blackberry and cassis flavors are enlivened by tangy minerals and sweetened by a suggestion of floral pastille. Takes a slightly bitter turn on the chewy finish, leaving an impression of licorice. Serve this with something smoky. 89 points |
