I dig these new labels, artwork by Kyle Hughes-Odgers inspired by nature in the southwest of the state, apparently. I don’t mind the wine either, one to enjoy now, at a barbecue but it’ll mellow in a few more years. Cassis and cherries, cedary, woodsy spice, a hint of fresh herbs and some sway with the tannins. It works across a medium-bodied palate and has plenty of refreshing acidity and a touch of detail.
One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.
Quite remote and unequalled in beauty, the wine regions of Westerm Australia promise endless physical and climatic diversity. From the coolest, seaside vineyards to the hottest inland zones, Western Australia is the source of some of the country’s most sought after wines.
