2000 Yalumba Bush Vine Barossa Grenache

[Drew]

Celebrating Memorial Day with the usual fare of burgers, cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans with jalapeno peppers.
Clear dark ruby. Spicy plum and cherry scents. Flavors of black cherry, plum, dark chocolate and pepper spice. Medium weight in the mouth with a long finish that's a little hot. Not as good as the '97 but almost. 14%Alc/vol. $12. The first bottle was returned to Coastal Wine and Spirits due to the mouth of the bottle being out of round which caused the cork to allow air into the bottle causing oxidation. Sally, the owner, exchanged without hesitation. She's a friendly woman, who loves to talk, and runs a nice wine shop. Visit her if you're in the area. 12 miles north of Rehobeth Beach, Del. on Rt.1. Nice selection of hard to find Oz wines, Bordeaux and California Cabs.
