winemaker's notes:
"The 2006 Wallace, tasted from a barrel sample, is a 70% Shiraz, 30% Grenache blend with an identical oak treatment. The 2006 is more structured than the 2005 but they could otherwise pass as identical twins. Hats off to Ben Glaetzer for producing an extraordinary portfolio!"
-Wine Advocate 91-94
"Deep red. Smoky black raspberry and cherry aromas are complemented by zesty white pepper and minerals; showing its grenache side today. Silky and sweet, with deep red berry preserve flavors, fully absorbed tannins and good bite. Leaves an exotic candied licorice note behind on the vibrant, juicy finish, which strongly repeats the red berry tone."
-International Wine Cellar

I would buy this wine again
I disagree with the 91 pt. rating, but probably this wine needs to be kept for 2-3 more years. So if you want to drink it soon, I would not recommend it!

I would not buy this wine again
If you're going for a good buy; one not pricey, this would be it. The only reason I wouldn't buy this wine again is because I'm somewhat new to the wine scene, and am "finding my way." The first taste hits you with a peppery flavor...it has a weak after taste...which wasn't bad.
