2007 Charles Cimicky Trumps Grenache/Shiraz, Barossa (750ml)

The purple-colored 2007 Trumps Grenache (55%)-Shiraz (45%) was sourced from vines ranging in age from 55-80 years and was aged for 15 months in 2 year old French barrels. It offers up an alluring bouquet of cedar, scorched earth, black cherry, and blueberry. Supple, ripe, and easy-going on the palate, this forward, friendly effort can be enjoyed over the next 6 years. 90 points. Jay Miller for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #186 (DEC 2009)
