2001 Burge Family Clochemerle

[Drew]

Popped Christmas Eve and named after one of Rick Burges favorite French comic novels. It is a blend of 53% Grenache, 38% Shiraz and 9% Mourvedre. Very southern Rhone like with notes of pepper and herbs but with plenty of full Barossa fruit. Almost black in the glass and complex, the flavors are layered with rich blackberry, pepper, herb and earth. Really enjoyed this but a little pricy at $31. 14.5% Alc/vol.
