Pindarie Bar Rossa 2006

Anthony at Baccaccio Cellars put this aside for me months ago. Luckily he runs a booze shop and isn't hard pressed to find something to take home to drink with dinner.  

Its been in the press a bit this wine, and it deserves it.  An unusual blend of 70% Tempranillo, 25% Sangiovese and 5% shiraz that is ready to go as soon as you rip the screwcap off. 

Deep red in colour with a purple tint.  The nose is quiet for the most part, a bit of earth and spice with light red berry fruit.  In the mouth is where all the action is.  Its brimming with soft tannins that give the wine a great mouthfeel, plum and dark cherry fruit jubes.  Overall its a savory wine that's not afraid to show some fruit and would be perfect with anything hot of the BBQ. Great value.  88 Pts.
