McLaren Vale’s Alternative Side, (WSET, London, U.K.): Blend of Tempranillo (37%), Grenache (36%), Souzoa (25%) and Tinot Cao (2%). Black core with ruby rim, viscous ruby legs @14.5% abv. Nose of black fruits, paper, barnyard and ink. Dry, medium(+) acidity, medium-medium(+) tannin, high alcohol with residual heat and sweetness, medium(+) body. Palate reveals black fruit, earth, pepper, leather spice. Glycerinic mouthfeel Good length with savory and tannic finish. Gritty.
