Elderton e Series Cabernet Shiraz 2013
While
in Springfield on business, for carry out dinner back to the hotel to
watch the Cubs win the World Series, I picked up this Aussie Shiraz /
Cab blend at Corkscrew Wine Emporium. After tasting the premium Elderton Command Shiraz the other evening, I chose this entry level 'e Series' Elderton as a basis of comparison. This is a blend of Cabernet and Shiraz.
Often I'll commend the QPR - quality price ratio for sub $20 wines. In this case, you get what you pay for.
Dark garnet colored, medium bodied, black berry and black cherry fruits are accented by tones of mineral, graphite and hints of camphor and a layer of vanilla, with a bit of 'heat' from the alcohol.
RM 88 points, one point lower the following evening.
