Vintage Longbottom, McLaren Vale (Australia) Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre 2020

Feb 16, 2022

By Rich Cook

  Here’s a solid representative of GSM style — or SGM in this particular case — with Aussie flair.  Black fruit, tar, pepper and menthol are folded finely together and stay that way through a lingering finish.  This will run the gamut with the meat side of the menu.  To my taste, there’s been a turn toward the good at this producer of late!
