Laughing Stock Vineyards
Blind Trust Red Blend 2018
2018 vintage.
39 % Merlot, 21 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 % Syrah, 12 % Malbec, 10 % Cabernet Franc and 4 % Petit Verdot. Always a secretive blend. You don’t know the varietal mix and percentages until you peel back the foil from the bottle neck. It changes every year.
Bright ruby red with aromas of red cherry, milk chocolate and cocoa spice.
Medium bodied with still fresh acidity.
Blackberry, red plum, dark cherry with a bit spicy finish

Penfolds
Bin 28 Shiraz 2020
Oldest in the Penfolds portfolio, Wine includes fruit from Barossa, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Clare and Wrattonbully vineyards, aged 12 months in American oak, about 7% new. Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate ripe blackberry, plum and cherry flavors with cacao, espresso and vanilla oak. Vivid acidity, rich ripe fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and a bit of spice, very nice! Good value with aging potential. — 3 months ago
David Carter
Lighter body. Not overly fruity and mellower tannins. Pretty good. $15ish at Total Wine. Label at bottom also says Duckhorn portfolio, is a California cab blend. Decoy has lots of more specific vintage regions. — 19 days ago
