A nose that is a mixture of citrus and grass opens to reveal a melon and
apple palate that is not as sweet as expected.
The blending of syrah and grenache has been mastered in the Rhône
wine region but here is a characteristically bold and powerful Australian take
on the blend courtesy of Chief Winemaker Chester d'Arenberg Osborn and Senior
Winemaker Jack Walton.
The 2010 has many of the same characteristics: an enticing bouquet,
mouth filling taste, tannis that are drying rather than overwhelming with
an additional characteristic of fruit forward flavours (that are not over-ripe)
underscored by an oak tinge thanks to a year of aging (40% of the time in
French and 60% of the time in American oak barrels).

Don’t burn a hole in your wallet by buying a Vintage port and don’t
disappoint your taste buds with a tawny. LBVs are the sweet spot and this
iteration scores high on the QPR.
And, FINALLY, for your
Oscars Party!
After you have purchased your delicacies,
controlled your temperature and shucked safely with no injuries you will need
the right pairing. Here are SukasaStyle’s suggestions based on first hand
experience but remember to trust your own palate as what worked for us may not
for you.
