Purchase R Winery Strong Arms Shiraz 2007

While the wine is given a South Australia "GI" (Aussie for Appellation or AVA) the concept is to have the wine dominated by fruit from McLaren Vale. The 2007 is a more than worthy follow up to the 2006, and shows lovely bright blue and blackberry fruit coupled with subtle notes of iron and mineral. On the palate the wine is rich with soft tannins and a hint of earth and mocha that are woven into the core of blue and black fruit. The 2007 vintage was certainly affected by the drought conditions and production is down, so grab this over-achiever while you can. - Wine Advocate
