Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This wine exhibits tremendous hues of deep vibrant reds and purples. Dark cherry, Blackberry and raspberry cola dominate the aromas, combining with the complexities of toasted vanillin oak and a finishing hint of anise. Rich ripe blackberry and plum carry through the flavor profile, with sweet raspberry and chocolate notes of mocha. This is a terrific wine with tremendous structure yet a graceful texture through to the finish. The vineyard that produces this wine grows in shallow red brown sandy loam soils.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    A blend of 88% Shiraz and 12% Grenache, the deep garnet-purple colored 2008 Rustom Farm Pughouse Shiraz Grenache is scented of warm black plums, blueberry compote and dried cherries with hints of black pepper and dusty earth. Full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth, the spiced berry preserves flavors are framed by medium levels of rounded tannins and lively acid before finishing long. Drink it now to 2018+.

With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

Barossa Valley Wine

Barossa, Australia

View all products

Historically and presently the most important wine-producing region of Australia, the Barossa Valley is set in the Barossa zone of South Australia, where more than half of the country’s wine is made. Because the climate is very hot and dry, vineyard managers work diligently to ensure grapes reach the perfect levels of phenolic ripeness.

The intense heat is ideal for plush, bold reds, particularly Shiraz on its own or Rhône Blends. Often Shiraz and Cabernet partner up for plump and powerful reds.

While much less prevalent, light-skinned varieties such as Riesling, Viognier or Semillon produce vibrant Barossa Valley whites.

Most of Australia’s largest wine producers are based here and Shiraz plantings date back as far as the 1850s or before. Many of them are dry farmed and bush trained, still offering less than one ton per acre of inky, intense, purple juice.
