Heartland 2005 Stickleback Red Red (South Australia)

Country: Australia / Stickleback Red
Variety: Red Blend South Australia
Winery: Heartland / South Australia

Made by Ben Glaetzer, the Heartland wines are meant to offer an affordable entry to the Epicurean portfolio. The Stickleback Red blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Shiraz and Grenache to make an attractive wine for everyday drinking. Some smoky notes frame black cherry and black olive fruit, while the texture is creamy on the midpalate, fading a bit on the finish.
