Winemaker Review - Wine Advocate #122

by Robert Parker on 01 April 1999

The 1997 Old Vine Grenache Kangarilla Vineyard (14.5% alcohol) is complex with aromas of tobacco, dried herbs, pepper, and sweet black cherry fruit. A big, rich, and full-bodied wine, it reveals significant depth and length. Anticipated maturity: now-2006. This wine is a crowdpleasing, exotic offering that takes the level of richness and hedonism to sensational heights. This wine is worth trying if only because of its compelling purity, opulence, and explosive richness.
