From one of Australia's most-lauded red-wine producers, this blend of Tempranillo and Touriga is for those red drinkers who prefer power coming from the fruit and not oak or extraction. It's high toned, broad and powerful with oodles of flavor. There's fleshy berry, plum, licorice and mocha along an earthy, spicy spine, with dried flowers and warm pavement to boot. It's raspingly dry with dusty, savory tannins that rake across the tongue. Some bottle age has done this good. Drink now. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
