John Duval Wines, Plexus 2014, Barossa Valley, Australia

Tasting Note: A GSM blend that presents a fruity version of itself.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of strawberry, raspberry puree with cranberry and blossom.

On the palate the dry, full-bodied wine abounds with red-and-black-fruit flavors with a little red cherry on the long finish supported by ripe, grippy tannin.

Bottle Note: Shiraz 47%, Grenache 32%, Mourvedre 21%. Four generations of my family have been vignerons in South Australia. Over the last three decades in the Barossa Valley I was given the opportunity to make Australia’s most famous wine. The inspiration of the Barossa’s best old vine are low yielding shiraz, grenache and mourvedre vineyards created Plexus combining elements into a coherent structure. Ancient illustrious vineyards combined with meticulous, traditional winemaking and fifteen months in the best French oak will ensure the age worthiness of this celebrated blend.
