Bleasdale 2008 Langhorne Crossing Red (Langhorne Creek)

Country: Australia / Langhorne Crossing
Variety: Red Blend South Australia
Winery: Bleasdale / Langhorne Creek

Impressively silky for the price, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (53%), Shiraz (35%), Petit Verdot (7%) and Malbec (5%) is a bargain that should be easy enough to find, with 10,000 cases imported. Toasty oak and vanilla notes frame mixed berries and olives, marrying sweet and savory elements into a pleasing, medium-bodied red for early consumption.
