$55, 13.9% alcohol, screwcap, Clare Valley.

Everything about this wine is admirable and everything about this wine is delicious. Buy this and drink it. It tastes of red fruits and roses, sun-dried citrus rind, assorted dry and peppery spices, and something other that I can’t quite put my finger on but which can be filed under X-factor. It’s beautiful. It’s delicate. It’s generous. And it’s the real deal. 95 points.
