D’Arenberg 2006 The Derelict Vineyard Grenache (McLaren Vale)

Country: Australia / South Australia
Variety: Grenache
Winery: D’Arenberg / The Derelict Vineyard

The sort of wine one imagines early Australian settlers gulped down—big and burly in the mouth and a bit warm, rough and dusty on the finish. Hints of mint-accented cherry fruit and earthy notes.
