About

Ratings:

91

Rich, ripe and velvety, this is dense without being heavy-handed, with cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and spice flavors that dance through the vigorous finish. Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. Drink now through 2019. 1,000 cases imported. –HS

90 James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion

Vivid crimson-purple; the expressive bouquet of red fruits is challenged by the complex array of flavours on the medium-bodied palate, ranging through red, purple and black, and a veneer of mocha/vanilla oak.

90 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Pale to medium garnet-purple in color and bursting with aromas of raspberry preserves and kirsch plus hints of anise, black pepper and orange rind, the full-bodied 2012 The Strapper Grenache Shiraz Mataro is packed with rich, spicy red berry and baking spice flavors on the softly textured palate that is framed by silky tannins. It finishes long with a refreshing lift. Drink it now to 2018+. "
