Soul Growers Equilibrium Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 2011
Style: Mid-full bodied red
Region: Barossa Valley, SA
Tasting note: A big whack of cedar oak on the nose with notes of sweet cherry. The palate is typical Barossan fare: plum, blackberry, liquorice and some black pepper all held together with lashings of oak.
Final Say: Barrosa’s slant on the Rhône Valley, from a tough year but still full of flavour. $19.99 a bottle.
Score: 16.5 out of 20
