About the Winery: Angove is one of the oldest wineries in Australia, having been in operation for over a hundred years. They are family owned and produced many of their wines organically. Sadly, many of their grapes are sourced from other vineyards so they do not qualify as an estate winery and it is impractical for their entire line to be certified organic.
About THIS Wine: A deep, rich red center is rimmed with garnet. Jammy red fruit is prominent on the nose along with clove and pepper notes. The front palate tastes of licorice, followed by heavy red fruit and fairly sharp tannins. All of this gives way to a finish of fruit leather.
Drinking This Wine: It made me hungry for a nice, juicy burger. Could work with any red meat and bread dish. The taste is fine for sipping, but I think it is better with food.
Overall Impression: I'm a little conflicted here. The wine is very good. It is also eighteen dollars. I will settle on it being reasonable for the price.
