Château Tanunda

Barossa Tower Shiraz Primitivo 2014

Deep garnet color, balanced red and black fruit bouquet, boozy, medium-heavy mouthfeel. Raspberry, plum, and blackberry on the palate, nice long finish with decent sapidity. Loved it with home-cooked beef, pepperoni, sun-dried tomato pizza. And, some sharp cheddar. — 11 years ago

I drank that a few years ago and was blown away by how wonderful it was. Too bad very few in Cali have the restraint to make wines like this now!

@gary agreed, but also totally inspired by the current return to restraint happening in Cali. In fact - planning a visit soon to continuum, wanna join?

Julia- I haven't tasted their stuff- let me know when you are going. My next trip is to the backyard: Rhys, Fogarty and perhaps Roudon Smith. If that sounds interesting and you can get away on a Monday, let me know.

Can't stop thinking and writing about this wine. Somewhere between Avellino and Paestum. Has the energy of Avellino and the salinity of Paestum. It's a graceful Fiano, with sotto voce intoning that belies its CA roots. Having five more bottles to share and drink over time makes me super excited to watch this wine and its talented winemaker, Megan Glaab. — 12 years ago
