Wine of the Month
2018 Yalumba
Bush Vine Grenache
Barossa, Australia
This month’s W.O.M. is a highly rated Grenache from one of Australia’s most historic wineries, Yalumba. This is one of seven wines in the new Samuel’s Collection honoring Yalumba founder Samuel Smith. They have been making wine here since 1849 and their philosophy now is as it was then, respect and invest in the land and produce great wine with the least intervention possible.
92 Points, James Suckling:
“Such clarity, purity and depth here. This is surely a benchmark for the band of pedigree Barossa Grenache, delivered right on the apex of quality and value. Vibrant raspberries, cherries and red plums flood the nose and palate and the chassis of fruit-tannin is sleekly cut. Fresh, juicy resolve. Drink now. Screw cap.”
90 Points, Wine Spectator:
“Perfumed, with heady floral and baking spice aromas singing through to raspberry coulis and strawberry flavors, set on a smooth and seamless body. A hint of vanilla bean lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2034.”
The Bush Vine Grenache is a perfect summer red. It has so much flavor and character, yet it’s easy-drinking. Not as heavy as a Shiraz but it still has plenty of complexity. Don’t be afraid to chill this for about 20 minutes before serving it with your favorite meats hot off the grill.
