Clarendon Hills Kangarilla Grenache 2004
So this is way swanky, but we have excellent justification for it. Valentine's Day is fast approaching and you've got to stockpile great wines for that night. Grenache is a wine you can truly enjoy, without the commitment demanded by a Cabernet or even a Syrah, and this wine fills the bill, although at rather a high level. The wine is a deep, nearly opaque purple, bringing confident aromas of raspberry, strawberry and blackberry to the nose, with eucalyptus, black pepper, licorice and floral notes. This is deep, ripe, honest fruit, thick and concentrated, but far from jammy. The flavor notes are similar. You can actually get your teeth into just picked fruit, chew on the flesh, access the hard-working acidity. The tannins are firm, ripe, and well integrated. It all makes for delicious fun.
