Vintage Cellar Review: This retro bad boy blend is from the Rocland Estate Winery in Barossa, where they do everything a little bit...different! A blend with deep russet red, with earthy aromas of savory oak and dark cherries with a little stewed rhubarb. Spice and cinnamon on the palate over a robust and generous body. Made from a blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro.
My Review: Absolutely delicious!! I loved this wine. It was extremely smooth, with not a lot of bitter tannin flavor. It was full and velvety and reminded me of smooth milk chocolate and cherries. A bit of an earthy undertone as well. I drank this wine on its own with no food pairing. I would 100% drink this wine again!
