More Information

Australia’s blood red ‘Terra Rossa’ terroir takes on Bordeaux. And it gets…weird. An intense nose of berry, smoke, and coffee. Bay leaf on the palate, black current, then Australia’s tell-tale eucalyptus (eucalyptus often grows near the vineyards). Merlot’s contribution here is especially strong (2016 was a great year). The Blend’s sister wine, The Tally, is among Australia’s most collectible. Will The Blend follow suit? Cellar a few bottles and find out.
